About the author
Even as a child, Joar Berge had an extraordinary connection to cows that would shape his entire life. After years of living an excessive urban lifestyle in various major cities, Joar followed his true dream and gave the cows Dagi and Emma a place to call home. This decision took his life in a completely different direction and revealed to him the importance of special relationships between animals and humans. Since then, Joar has spent countless hours in the pasture, attuning himself to the rhythm of his growing herd of cows and sharing his experiences with us. Then Joar makes another pivotal decision—one that goes beyond his own life: Together with friends, he founds a sanctuary for animals. In doing so, his dream becomes his personal calling.
