Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-25 00:00:00 Debbie Murphy If you know an animal lover, particularly one in their golden years, who adores pets but doesn't really "get" animal welfare issues, Ranch of Dreams is the perfect book to recommend. Beloved writer and proud "curmudgeon" Cleveland Amory writes about Black Beauty Ranch, the pioneering animal sanctuary he founded, and its many special residents, who range from feral burros to rescued circus elephants. The heartwarming stories are the proverbial spoonful of sugar that is matched with the "medicine"--facts about the treatment of animals in a variety of situations that caused the Ranch's charges to require rescue in the first place.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-31 00:00:00 James Obrien Cleveland Amory started an animal sanctuary in Texas, the Black Beauty Ranch. They’ve had cats, burros, horses, chimpanzees (including Nim Chimpsky), elephants, foxes, prairie dogs, goats and probably others that aren’t coming to my head at this moment. This book tells how the sanctuary got started and many stories of the animals that have come to live there. I really enjoyed this! It was very fast to read and there were separate chapters devoted to each species. He does also tell of some of the sad stories that led to the various critters coming to live there.
