America's sweetheart, impassioned lifelong animal welfare advocate,
and New York Times bestselling author Betty White shares intimate,
funny, and enlightening stories about her very best friends in the
world...
All her life, Betty White has had a menagerie of pets, many of them
rescued, and has donated countless hours and resources to animal
welfare. Animals are her passion, and that passion extends to zoos and
their importance for the conservation of species and for offering humans
the ability to witness the grandeur and variety of these magnificent
animals from around the world.
Betty & Friends is a love letter to those zoos, to their dedicated
workers, and especially to the animals in them--from Gita the elephant,
whom Betty used to take for walks; to Bruno the orangutan, who flaunts
his affections for Betty; to Jacob the boa, who loves a good hug.
Gaining access to this majestic world through Betty's eyes and her
inimitable words is a beautiful thing indeed for animal lovers and Betty
White lovers of all ages.
