Animal Connections

Lord, I Am Ready Now – Plumb


I love this song and its message. It is a fascinating video - written in a book.

Do you believe humans and animals have a spiritual connection that isn’t necessarily dependent on the language? Have you had any incidents of this with the animals in your life?

I don't know if I would call it a 'spiritual' connection, but I do believe there is a connection that goes beyond language to one of love and compassion. My cat Kerry would go to my mother and wipe her tears when she was sad and weeping. She avoided my fake tears seeming to know I was only trying to see if she would do it with me.

I am sitting here watching Pet Heroes. This episode has a man who saves animals telling the story of how he got started - being saved by a dog he tried to save. He got beaten up when he tried to rescue the dog. The men waiting on the dog to die (they had beats on how long the dog would live) turned on the man. The dog, barely alive himself crawled the the man and revived him.

Another story is about a lady and her dog that does therapy with adults and children. Dog are attuned to people and what they are doing. They help us stay fully present. Patience, trust, unconditional love. They are in tune with a human's emotional state.

I have heard dogs and cats are often utilized with children and adults with seizure disorders - they can sense it is coming.
