Tales of human and animal companionship dates back in history for as long as one can remember. While we have an unbreakable bond with our house pets, the kings and emperors of old had these bonds with their war animals. Well any war strategy requires trust and love to succeed, doesn't it. This series brings you these stories from as far back as the 1090 A.D. Sit back and enjoy one of our favorites, the story of shared love and trust between Sri-Lankan emperor and his best-friend.
