Animals are perfect examples of how

differences can fade

and camaraderie triumph.

“Animals are such agreeable friends―

they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.” ― George Eliot

“Animals have come to mean so much in our lives.

We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture.

Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate.

What’s one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on?

A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.” – Jon Katz

“Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal.

Difficult standards for people to live up to.” ― Alfred A. Montapert

“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals…

In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.

They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.” – Henry Boston
