I had to downsize a lot of books, but the first three series of Warrior Cats, the entire collection of Redwall, hardback nature and pet books, Aesop's fables, and manga made the cut.
You know who else dies when residential buildings are struck in war?
The pets.
Cats. Dogs. Birds.
It breaks my heart to think about it. 💔
When civilians have to flee quickly, pets are left behind. The ones that survive the strikes, are so scared they hide, or bolt (if they can). Then end up running scared as strays, often injured, terrified from the sirens and constant booms.
