Overview
Un testimonio que, desde la mirada de un veterinario, nos muestra cómo los animales dan sentido a nuestras ciudades...y a nuestras vidas.
En teoría, las ciudades somos nosotros: humanos acelerados, con ojeras de mapache y el móvil pegado a la mano. Pero si afinamos un poco la mirada, como haría un pájaro al posarse en la rama de un árbol, descubrimos algo evidente y a la vez olvidado: no estamos solos.
Entre el asfalto y las prisas viven millones de criaturas. Y, en medio de todas ellas, hay un veterinario que convive cada día con historias pequeñas y enormes a la vez: esas en las que los animales no solo comparten piso, sino que rescatan vidas, calman ansiedades y sostienen duelos con una lealtad que no entiende de etiquetas.
Las familias que llenan nuestros hogares ya no son exclusivamente humanas, no, son multiespecie. Humanos, gatos, perros, periquitos, tortugas y hasta ratas con más habilidades sociales que muchos de nuestros vecinos.
Con humor y emoción, Animales de ciudad te invita a adentrarte y explorar la diversidad de la vida, recordándote lo que intuías, pero no decías en voz alta: la sociedad no la formamos solo los humanos... y menos mal.
Una celebración del caos urbano, de sus habitantes peludos, emplumados y escamosos, y de cómo, cuando todo se tambalea, a veces quien te salva la vida ni siquiera sabe hablar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the viewpoint of a veterinarian, comes a testimony that shows us how animals give meaning to our cities...and our lives.
In theory, cities are us: fast-paced humans with raccoon eyes and cell phones glued to our hands. But if we sharpen our gaze a little, as a bird would do when perching on a tree branch, we discover something obvious and yet forgotten: we are not alone.
Millions of creatures live between the asphalt and the hustle and bustle. And, in the midst of them all, there is a veterinarian who lives with stories that are both small and enormous: those in which animals not only share a home, but also rescue lives, calm anxieties, and mourn with a loyalty that knows no labels.
The families that fill our homes are no longer exclusively human; no, they are multispecies. Humans, cats, dogs, parakeets, turtles, and even rats with more social skills than many of our neighbors.
With humor and emotion, City Animals invites you to dive into and explore the diversity of life, reminding you of what you sensed but didn't say out loud: society is not made up of humans alone... and thank goodness for that.
A celebration of urban chaos, its furry, feathered, and scaly inhabitants, and how, when everything is falling apart, sometimes the one who saves your life doesn't even know how to talk.
