Summary "A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals" by Percy J. Billinghurst is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This work presents a delightful array of anecdotes that illustrate human-like emotions and behaviors in various animals, showcasing their intelligence, loyalty, and cunning in whimsical and poignant narratives. At the start of this collection, the opening anecdotes feature remarkable stories about animals, such as an elephant that adopts a child after exhibiting remorse for killing its handler, and a Newfoundland dog known for its exceptional ability to fetch its master from town. Other narratives highlight the loyalty of a dog that mourns its deceased master and an interactive magpie that strives to replicate trumpet sounds. These tales are rich with charm and empathy, inviting readers to appreciate the extraordinary connections shared between humans and animals while encouraging reflection on the more profound aspects of love, loyalty, and companionship present in the animal kingdom.
