"People can grieve deeply over the loss of what others would think is an insignificant little pet, like a canary. But maybe that canary provided more love to that person than most other people in life.
God gives us these precious animals for a time and a season, and then he takes them home. But we can be thankful that He shows us a touch of His love through these animal friends."
You are so right. I've always felt blessed to have my four legged friends in my life. We should have enough room in our hearts for both humans and animals. I don't understand why some seem to believe it's one or the other.
So true. I salute my parents for always having a dog around as I was growing up. It turns a child into a more responsible and loving adult, after learning by example to empathize with animals first.
