This is the second book I've read recently regarding the ongoing wars in the Middle East. One thing both stories have made me realize is how the people from that area are just like us - most are hardworking families just trying to survive in a war zone. They are not all prospective terrorists as the current political climate portrays them.
As an animal lover, it is heartbreaking to read about how the animals ultimately pay the price for war with no understanding of what is going on or why they are the innocent victims. I admire those who worked so hard at great personal risk to try to save any of the animals that they could. It is so sad that only two from the whole zoo survived.
It was wonderful to see people come together to thwart the government and get these two animals to safety where they can lead a peaceful life.
