“Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.” -Hazrat Inayat Khan. Many family claim “children” who are not human. It is no surprise to those of us who have pets that we treat, love them and think of them as family. There are those who roll there eyes and say they are “just…” I say to that… then I am “just…” too!
For the many of us who call pets our family, it won't surprise to us that scientific research also shows that many animals are intelligent, and even have some abilities that dwarf ours.
Dogs are able to detect diseases such as cancer and diabetes and warn humans of impending heart attacks and strokes. Elephants, whales, hippopotamuses, giraffes, and alligators use low-frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.
Many animals also display wide-ranging emotions, including joy, happiness, empathy, compassion, grief, and even resentment and embarrassment. It's not surprising that animals -- especially, but not only, mammals -- share many emotions with us, since we also share brain structures that are the seat of our emotions.
Be The Change You Seek…
Take a few extra minutes today to spend with your “family member”, how can you take care of the “family” that may exist in your own back yard (Rabbits, squirrels, birds, deer) You could even volunteer at a local animal shelter!
