Caring for your pet
Animals are like children. They are social creatures that think of us as one of their pack, their family. Like children, they need to be talked to, played with and cared for with affection.
Some things to understand about them:
Animals have Feelings
Animals are deeply caring and loving beings who need freedom as much as we do. Many people treat their pets like objects - as security guards or as trophies to show their guests. It is neccesary to look beyond fur and tails and see the heart of every creature in our care.
Mahatma Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by
how its animals are treated."
Inside the House, Into your Heart
Many years ago, untouchability was common in India. It was a terribly cruel practice that completely disrespected life. Today, untouchability continues to be practiced in many houses towards animals, because they are thought to be unclean. Animals are not dirty! Not only do they groom themselves, they allow us to bathe them regularly. It is absolutely safe to allow your dogs to live with you inside your home. Chaining them to a gate or locking them within a dog house all day makes them terribly unhappy and breaks their spirit.
Dogs are as intelligent as children and extremely affectionate!
Dogs are full of energy and joy. To put them in a prison is a cruel act.
A video which is a touching example of a dog's loyalty,love and deep protective instincts. The dog stops the father who is pretending to beat the boy, but never harms the man.
