Buddy: How a Rooster Made Me a Family Man (Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction) - Hardcover

"The ancient Greeks believed that even lions feared the brave rooster. The Talmud praises his manly virtues, and the sacred book of Hadith claims roosters can see angels. Now we hear from Brian McGrory on the subject, and I think his report is the most fun of all. In this delightful book, he tells us how a rooster helped him create a family blended from five species and two divorces. At turns hilarious and heart-breaking, "Buddy" is a book to crow about."
--Sy Montgomery, author of "The Good Good Pig" and "Birdology"

Recounts how the author fell in love with a veterinarian and pursued a family life replete with several pets, including a portly rooster who initially treated him as a male rival and eventually prompted inspirational realizations about love, acceptance, and change.
