The relationship between humans and animals has always been strong, symbiotic and complicated. Animals, real and fictional, have been a mainstay in the arts and entertainment, figuring prominently in literature, film, television, social media, and live performances. Increasingly, though, people are anthropomorphizing animals, assigning them humanoid roles, tasks and identities. At the same time, humans, such as members of the furry culture or college mascots, find pleasure in adopting animal identities and characteristics. This book is the first of its kind to explore these growing phenomena across media. The contributors to this collection represent various disciplines, to include the arts, humanities, social sciences, and healthcare. Their essays demonstrate the various ways that human and animal lives are intertwined and constantly evolving.

But when a close call with a dangerous animal sends Flick back underground, he learns the important lesson that the prairie dog town rules are there to protect him.

First published in 1906, ‘Prairie-Dog Town’ is a charming short children’s story by ‘Oz’ author L. Frank Baum. In the wholesome town of Edgeley in Dakota live two good little children, Twinkle and her friend Chubbins. When the pair go exploring on the open prairie one day, they come across a hollowed area inhabited by the mysterious speaking prairie-dogs. Plenty of magic and fun awaits the pair as they get acquainted with the friendly prairie-dog community. Lyman Frank Baum (1856 – 1919) was a prolific and well-known American writer. He is best known for his famous series of modern fairy tales set in the imaginary land of Oz. The first of the books, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ is widely considered to be the first true American fairy tale and was the basis for the hugely popular 1939 classic musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’ starring Judy Garland. Born and raised in New York, Baum held a range of jobs including as a poultry farmer, clerk, and storekeeper before pursuing his talent for writing at the age of 41. He wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, as well as over 40 other novels and over 80 short stories. He died in California in 1919.

Pokk the Piglet spoke of many friends he had known in his farm life. Pokk told of Nod and spoke of Cone at the rabbit school. Pokk the Piglet was an avid storyteller at home and at work. Pokk’s friends are wont to invite him over for lunch and dinner at weekends because he sure would regal them in stories of farm life past or present. Pokk told of the friendship of Frog and Toad and how truly friendly they were but never married. Pokk told of how Fals the skunk ruined breakfast one morning for a few friends at the eatery in the town. Pokk told of how Giwa the Elephant advised the baby elephants to keep to the family for safety and protection. Pokk told of Prete the Peacock and how she loves to spread her colorful feathers to attract the friends on the farm. Pokk warned not a few of the baby rats on the farm to beware of Kura the Hyena whose nocturnal life was crooked and predatory of mice and rats. Pokk told of Veef the Giraffe who, according to Pokk, loved books and could read for hours on a satiate stomach. Pokk advised the Praying Mantis named Nod to ignore the Bumble Bee’s gossip and focus instead on his own goals in life. Pokk was not a bad friend on the farm albeit he padded his stories with a few wiry “tales about tails” in his attempt to “say” a piglet’s tail could grow long if he is fed extra proteins!
