I am an animal lover, I have had pets my whole life (Dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, frogs, fish etc.) I have cried like a baby when they die. Each and every one has a special place in my heart. They are not family though, they are my pets. As I see it a pet is an animal who relies on me for food, water, shelter, social interaction and protection, in return they give me companionship, entertainment and in some cases protection (the german shepard not the fish
)
Animals, like people, deserve to be loved for what they are. Not for what we would like them to be.
