Excerpts from the thoughts of an animal lover......

I have always believed animals can teach us so
much about life and inspire us to become better
people. Be it in the wild or at home, people who
have stayed with animals truly know what a life
changing experience they bring into lives.

Personally, i have fallen in love with the animals
i've seen through a glass screen and animals i
have only heard about and also my pet cat,
kamikaze. What inspired me to want a cat was
a book i read called "The cat who came for
Christmas" . In that book , the author Cleveland
Amory, says in the end that , you'll never know
whether you owned a
cat or the cat owned you... :)

I'm not only a cat person as some people put it.
I love dogs too and am just waiting to get one,
once i'm on my own. Animals , specially pets, truly
teach you to love and give love, as much as they do.
They become your best friends and part of your
family. You end up feeling incomplete without
them around..

I have heard so many stories about how
animals were rescued from all sorts of danger
and also how animals have in turn saved the
lives of many people. They have been a huge
inspiration to me and often leaves me in awe of
the love shown by both human beings and
animals.

Once long back, my ambition was to become a
marine biologist to study dolphins. Dolphins are
animals i've seen only through a tv screen but
they amaze me by their intelligence and friendly
nature. Well, life has taken a different path
now, but i still want to swim and play with
dolphins and learn more about them one day.

With animals treading into the path of
extinction in such a rapid pace, people need to
understand and respect the nature and animals
around us and coexist in harmony. This is far
from being true in today's conditions.
I feel every person should strive for that and
everyone can in their own small way make a
huge difference in some other life.

I truly believe that all animals, from the largest
to the tiniest of them, have some quality or the
other which can help one become a better
person. Love truly conquers all !! :)
