25 gramů štěstí - Jak vám maličký ježek může změnit život – Vacchetta Massimo, Tomaselli Antonella (2019)

"So why are you doing this? What do you have from the hedgehogs?" "I enjoy them." "Could you take care of it for these two days?" This is how the friendship began between veterinarian Massimo, who specializes in livestock, and an abandoned hedgehog. The little one, barely a few days old, is entirely red and has a stripe of white, soft, and somewhat tousled spines on its back. It weighs only 25 grams and softly whines: it is hungry, cold, or perhaps feels lonely. The crying is so desperate that it penetrates even through Massimo's defensive shield formed by apathy and the force of habit. And so it happened that Ninna – the tousled hedgehog was a female – turned his life upside down with the magic of her personality. She is curious, and as soon as she senses something new, she pokes her snout out of her hiding place; she is very playful and enjoys tipping over her water bowl with her nose; she is gentle, and when she doesn't see Massimo for a while, she joyfully licks him. At the same time, she is a wild animal that needs freedom: the cage is becoming increasingly cramped for her, and she finds happiness outside in the woods... Massimo Vacchetta tells in this book about an unusual encounter that helped him overcome a difficult period and inspired him with a new purpose: to establish a rescue station for hedgehogs, a species threatened by our negligence, and to care for those who need help...
