We are so blessed to have our fellow animals to share this planet and our lives with. I feel I am a better person just by living upclose with animals and viewing and knowing that the wild ones are there. Of course we need each other as part of nature's chain and balance. But we also need each other emotionally and spiritually. We are truly brothers and sisters. We learn so much from one another. Pets have taught me about unconditional love and loyalty. And though I used the word pets we're actually family.
