Human history has been brought alive by stories of animals and their special bond with us ever since Alexander the Great named one city after the horse who saved his life in battle (and another after his dog). Now BAFTA-winning presenter, no 1 bestselling author and all-round national treasure, Clare Balding wants to pick out the most heroic, inspirational (and sometimes hilarious) animals from history and tell their stories. From Greyfriars Bobby 's years-long vigil over his master's grave to the real dog who inspired the story of Lassie, from the elephant that saved a small girl to Paul the World-Cup -predicting Octopus.
