Welcome to Smarter Than Jack

SMARTER than JACK started with a series of books. Our goal from the start has been to entertain people the world over with stories about amazing animals, and to raise funds for animal welfare organisations. We want to make people look at animals a little differently - and to celebrate the animals that they share their lives with. Read the story of how SMARTER than JACK  came about
