M: It’s about the beauty and noble qualities of the wild animals that I have the fortune to encounter and befriend. I would like to show in the book their sentiments, their intelligence and their invisible help to humans, even thought most of the humans are not aware of it. But they are a tremendous help to the world; they just help by their presence, because they are bringing divine power, pure power - undiluted, unpolluted power into this world.

I hope this book will shed some little light into this mystery, and the beauties, and the friends and the helpers, the benefactors, the divine beings that we often take for granted.
