If animals light up your life, have I got a book for you.

Pick up a copy of Kristen Von Kreisler’s “Beauty in The Beasts: True Stories of Animals Who Chose to do Good.”

The author has gathered hundred of stories about animals doing the right thing.

Inside the book, you’ll meet Lulu the pig, who ran into traffic to get help for her stricken owner.

Also in these pages is the story of a timid Chocolate Lab who attacked a six-foot bear to save his owner’s life.

The author has divided her stories into eight categories of virtues normally reserved for humans. Those areas range from sensitivity and compassion to courage and generosity.

Even pit bulls – which generally provoke a knee jerk reaction as “bad dogs” among many people – come in for a closer look in the book.

You see, it was a pit bull who fell into a well with a woman. The woman never would have survived the ordeal without the dog, according to the author.

Another story centers around Golden Retriever who woke its owner in the middle of the night to show him that one of his fish had jumped out of a goldfish bowl and was lying on the floor, desperate for help.

If you go looking for the book, you may not find it under the animals section of the library or bookstore. At least one bookstore lists it under Spirituality.

That raises an interesting question: If animals show good behavior, are they demonstrating rudimentary morality?
