Melanie Kaplan: I'm a long-time journalist and a pretty curious person, so when I found myself living with Hammy-a really special creature who'd lived in a lab for several years-I felt I had no choice but to tell his story. I realized much of what I felt with Hammy- bonding with a pet, wanting to understand the background of someone I'd fallen in love with, questioning things that seemed unfair-was universal, so I thought people would relate to what I'd experienced.
