How to Tenderly Raise a Human

Cover blurb: The story of a dragon rider (?!) Back-cover blurb: No one knows when it began, but a new pastime had once again become all the rage among dragons, a way to add a little fun to their long, tedious lives: adopting a human as a tiny pet for the soul. Compared with silly rhinos and furry, sleek lions and tigers, humans are so much cuter! Whether they are black-haired, blond, or red-haired, they come in a wide variety of looks, offering plenty of choices. When lonely, they keep dragons company with their tiny, nightingale-like voices. They’re not stupid, either, making them a one-of-a-kind, excellent choice of pet. Their only real drawbacks are that they live just seventy or eighty years and are extremely fragile. Dear fine dragon gentlemen, please remember to treat the humans you keep gently today! [The original idea came from a dragon-raises-human post in Zone 3. Thanks to the inspiring ladies!] [The whole book is a collection of little stories with happy endings.]
