"Once I started this incomparable story, I couldn't put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mind-nor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training through affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers." -Betty White

A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable true stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeeper's Wife or Water for Elephants.

Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming. . . probably the greatest love story ever told."

I read Modoc by Ralph Helfer five years ago in Thailand and have never forgotten it. The story tugs at your heartstrings.
There is a lot of controversy about this novel being sold as a true story and there being little evidence to support it. This is a real shame as the story is so wonderful, capturing love and friendship over decades between Mosie and Bram.
All animal lovers will laugh and cry throughout this book. Forget the fact or fiction debate and just enjoy!
