A Buffalo in the House: The True Story about a Man, an Animal, &
the American West
by: Rosen, R D
A sprawling suburban house in Santa Fe is not the kind of home where a
buffalo normally roams, but Veryl Goodnight and Roger Brooks are not your
ordinary animal lovers. Over a hundred years after Veryl's ancestors,
Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight, hand-raised two baby buffalo to help save
the species from extinction, the sculptor and her husband adopt an orphaned
buffalo calf of their own. Against a backdrop of the old American West,
A Buffalo in the House tells the story of a household situation beyond
any sitcom writer's wildest dreams. Charlie has no idea he's a buffalo
and Roger has no idea just how strong the bond between man and buffalo
can be. In the historical shadow of the near-extermination of a majestic
and misunderstood animal, Roger sets out to save just one buffalo. This
book tells an important, uplifting story about one animal's ability to
touch human lives and reconnect people of all ages to the vanished past.

Grandfather Buffalo

on, he is always a little behind. But when a female buffalo is ready to
give birth, he is there to protect her, and he's there to help nudge the
new calf along. The youngster's liveliness puts Grandfather Buffalo to the
test, but the calf learns quickly that whether the herd is braving a dust

Grandfather Buffalo's side. Jim Arnosky shows the struggles faced in nature
by both young and old, and the tender bonds that form across generations.
