In KINDRED SPIRITS there are 50 true stories from around the world of unlikely animal bonds that seem to prove that animals are capable of feeling love and friendship. A young wild leopard makes its way into a small village in India every night, not to devour a farmer's cow but to fall asleep next to it.
