From the Back Cover

Think all animals are created equal? Think again! Amazing Animals of Colorado features thirteen true tales about Colorado's most unforgettable animals, past and present, including a faithful dog, notorious grizzly, begging burro, and headless horse. Look inside to discover what set these not-to-be-forgotten creatures apart from the pack - or sleuth, or pace, or harras - and made them legends in Centennial State history.
Inside you'll meet:

" Skipper-the land mine-sniffing dog that saved the lives of countless soldiers during World War II
" Buff and Blaze - the grizzly and longhorn who dueled to the death . . . with no survivors
" Ralphie - the CU buffalo homecoming queen who charged up the football team
