MEET EDDIE AND HIS PETS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Eddie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scruffy ten-year-old Eddie seems pretty unremarkable – but he can talk to animals! Raised by his dad since his mum died, Eddie works hard and is fiercely loyal to his dad and his friends – human and animal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Butch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Butch is a tiny Jack Russell and Chihuahua cross with a serious case of small dog syndrome. He thinks he’s much bigger than he is! When he gets angry, Butch speaks with a ‘Mexican’ accent learned from cowboy films. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Dan and Jack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These goldfish claim to have sailed the seven seas with rough, tough, blood curdling pirates. Dan even has a dark area above one eye that looks like a salty sea dog’s eye patch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Bunty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This cuddly little hamster loves re-telling military tales from her RAF days. She even taught herself not to be nocturnal so she\u2019s awake when everyone else is and has people to natter to!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Stanley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a chick, Stanley the crow sadly fell out of his nest in Stanley Park, Liverpool, and lost his mother. Luckily, Eddie’s Uncle Jack found him, brought him home and hand-reared him!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

MEET THE AUTHOR!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We spoke to author, TV presenter and all-round national treasure Paul O\u2019Grady about his new book\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Paul! Do you have many pets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I have pigs, goats, chickens, sheep, barn owls and dogs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow! is there one that’s been the<\/strong> most special to you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re all special to me. However, I did have a Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu cross, called Boycie, from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. He was a gentle little soul who had severe epilepsy, and I was fiercely protective of him. He sadly passed last year but I had five good years with him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are all your dogs rescue animals? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, all my animals are rescues! Farmers used to bring me orphaned lambs and I’d hand-rear them. They’d think they were dogs because that’s what they’d grown up around! You can’t beat the feeling of sitting on the sofa bottle feeding a little lambl <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ahhh, sweet! You’ve also met lots of animals through your work on the telly. What are some of your best experiences?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I got to feed a baby vulture called PJ. If he felt threatened, I’d have to lie on him as his mother would and spread my arms out. He was a sweetheart. I met a baby elephant in India who would try and sit on my knee. He used to break my heart and break my leg at the same time! And I’ve bottle-fed baby cheetahs. To have 12 cheetahs on top of you fast asleep isn’t something that happens every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazing! Eddie, the main character in your book, can talk to animals. What would you say to your pets if you could?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d love to talk to my dogs, so they’d understand me when I say when I say, “Can I have my shoe back?”, “It’s not nice chewing computer wires!” or “That carpet is Art Deco!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor Eddie has trouble fitting in. Did you find it easy to fit in as a kid? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was actually quite shy, but when I was about nine, I acted in a school play. They erected a tepee on stage. I stood up in it and the whole thing collapsed around me! I vividly remember the audience laughing and I realised then that it was easy to be funny! So instead of crawling out of the tent. I did the whole thing inside it, moving around the stage! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haha! Are you similar to Eddie at all? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only similarity is our love of animals! When I was little, I was always out playing things: like Doctor Who and Batman. I’d leave the house in the summer holidays at 8:30am and I’d come home at 5pm looking absolutely filthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds action-packed! What inspired you to write the book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I see so much animal cruelty and I think the only way to improve the situation is with education. I wanted to get across the feeling that animals are to be respected and that we have to do everything we can to look after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wrote your book during lockdown. What other stuff did you do to keep busy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned to play the ukulele online. I’m not very good, though. I also made loads of chutney because we had so much fruit on our trees. And I’ve always really wanted a tree swing, so we finally installed one. I love having half an hour to myself having a little swing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds fun! Thanks Paul.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORANGUTAN FACTS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Get the lowdown on these amazing orange apes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orangutan is one of humankind\u2019s closest relatives \u2013 we share nearly 97% of the same DNA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These red-haired apes live in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orangutans have an arm span of just over 2m. Their long arms and hook-shaped hands and feet make them great climbers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three species of orangutan \u2013 the Bornean, Sumatran and the Tapanuli, which was announced as a new species in 2017! All are sadly endangered.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
