25 grams of happiness. The story of a little hedgehog that changed a man's life
4.99 €
No love can be too big, and no creature can be too small for that love.
Imagine that you happen to find a little pink hedgehog with a crown of white and soft spines on its back. It weighs only 25 grams, and it barely has life in it: from hunger, cold, or maybe just loneliness. Will you be able to pass it by? Massimo Vacchetta, an Italian veterinarian who has spent his life treating cattle, was recently divorced and feeling broken and depressed - until the day someone brought an orphaned little hedgehog into the clinic. The tiny hedgehog, weighing just 25 grams, was as vulnerable and alone as Massimo. And this helplessness of the wild creature shattered the armor on the man's heart. He bonded with the hedgehog in a way he had never bonded with any other animal. Fighting for the life of the prickly baby helped the veterinarian to get out of depression and find a new meaning in his profession. By saving the hedgehog Ninna, Massimo gets rid of apathy and emptiness in his soul, and soon other hedgehogs are in his hands one after another: people from all over the area begin to look for an unusual veterinarian to heal and take care of the most vulnerable and weak creatures, which sometimes no one notices. The author was once asked, "But why do you do it? Why do you save hedgehogs?" And he replied, "They make me happy." For those who want to read a kind and touching book that will make you smile, this is a real find. The stories Massimo tells about his little hedgehog, Ninna, take you back to childhood, where we were all open-minded and able to empathize with the smallest and most defenseless creatures without looking back. This is the story of a man who almost lost himself, and he managed to find light where he least expected it - in caring for little hedgehogs. It is the very essence of life - helping those who have no voice, who are weaker than us - a story of pure unconditional love that does good without expecting anything in return.
