When my break was over I would pass the car to a volunteer, docent, or any visitor that wanted to play with the sea lion pup. What an experience for Puff and the visitors, not to mention myself  Our bond grew stronger. I believe because of this time with people-all positive and fun and he could leave to play elsewhere if he chose-Puff really liked people. He associated all those good times and good feelings with his people friends. When people visited his enclosure he was so excited and very gentle. Once I brought a little girl to visit Puff. She was in a wheelchair. He approached her chair and let her pet him. Right then and there I knew Puff was someone special. His trust changed me-I became a better person.\" This is the memoir of a zookeeper and how the love of one animal brought her closer to God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandy Smith and Mary Ellen Ostrander, Mary Ellen Ostrander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lewis Sebastian Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991582310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Ellen Ostrander has been working with animals at the same zoo since 1985.
