AN OTTER ON THE AGA: AND OTHER TRUE TALES FROM AN ANIMAL SANCTUARY

Book ID/图书代码： 00200007B13166

English Summary/英文概要： In "An Otter on the Aga",, Rex Harper brings to life the story of the incredible animal sanctuary that he and his family spent over forty years building. From small beginnings, the Harpers’ haven became a magnet for an extraordinary array of animal waifs and strays, being designated the official RSPCA centre for Cornwall in the late 1970s and taking in more than 50,000 abused and abandoned creatures by the time Rex and his wife retired. In this tale he introduces us to the colourful cast of characters that have become his family - Patti the unlikely guard dog poodle, Odin the Machiavellian raven and One Eye the seemingly indestructible cat. He describes too the dark side of his work as an RSPCA warden, chronicling some of the inhuman cruelty he witnessed during his years at the forefront of animal welfare in Cornwall. Inspiring and poignant, warm and witty, it is an evocation of life close to nature and a book that will touch - and sometimes break - the hearts of animal lovers everywhere.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在《房屋上的水獭》一书中，作者瑞克斯 哈勃给我们生动的讲述了发生在他和家人40年来修建的这座奇妙的动物殿堂的真实故事。从一开始，哈勃家的小屋70年代被国家防止虐待动物协会所指定，就成了一大批无家可归的流浪动物的“避难所”，到瑞克思和他的妻子退休的时候，已经收养了50000多只小家伙。在本书中，作者向我们展现了这些已经融入家庭的新成员：帕蒂－决没有看家本领的狮子狗，奥迪－狡猾的小乌鸦，还有一只眼－怎么也打不败的猫咪。作者也描写了其防虐工作的另一面，记录了一些令人发指的残忍虐动行为。本书笔调时而轻快柔和，时而辛辣尖锐，触动读者的同时，有时也会刺痛所有动物爱好者的心，所有这些都为唤起人们心底的自然情怀。
