Description
Once I started this incomparable story, I couldnt put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mindnor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training through affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers. Betty White
A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable true stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeepers Wife or Water for Elephants.
Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is heartwarming. . . probably the greatest love story ever told.
