When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals (2009) by Jeffrey Moussaieff Mason
This is one of the most amazing non-fiction book I have ever read. This book answered many questions I had while growing up.
I knew in my heart that animals had emotions, loved, cried, remembered events from a long time or had compassion, but I had no proof.
Now, I have a lot of facts to prove it.
You will never take any animal for granted after this book.
