Animals have lived alongside humans for generations.

They bring us joy, happiness, frustration, laughter, and sorrow.

And, particularly in this most difficult of years - they bring us joy.

From baby roosters in Czechia to feral cats in Vietnam - we hear the most intimate of stories. Out in the rain, curled up on the porch, in the vet's office - first licks, final goodbyes, paws, noses, ears.
