Background on the Individual Animal Subjects of Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home

The Animals

	Devlin was discovered as a baby lamb living in squalor in the basement of an animal hoarder's home. Having been nurtured into adulthood by the people who rescued him, he now easily befriends all humans and gratefully smacks his lips when given scratches on his back.
	Tesla was found in a park being chased by boys who were trying to drown him. Years later, he still goes into distress if someone holds him against his will. Yet, he understands that not all humans are the same, and has bonded with the people who saved him from near tragedy.
	Crystal was a bred dairy cow headed to auction because she had grown ill and weak. Fortunately, fate intervened and she found refuge at a sanctuary where she was lovingly cared for as she awaited the birth of her calf.
	Mama Hen demonstrates the intricate mothering skills involved in raising up a baby chick. She feeds, protects and models behaviors, carrying her chick around on her back and tucking him under her wing at the first sign of danger.
