Some more on why people may find it soothing to come home to a cat or dog, a fish tank or a hamster. An invisible thread of trans-species love stretches across the universe, and people with pets grab pieces of this from time to time. Attachment to our animal companions is not just about possession, its about feeling the spontaneous welling up inside you of love - an emotion that erases the hurt and pain of others.
Well, humans can love anything on four legs or a hundred (think centipede!) but can dogs love cats? If you go by the life of Ginny, the dog who rescued cats, they certainly can. Ginny’s owner, Philip Gonzalez, described her as an angel, and for thousands of Ginny fans across the States, she continues to be remembered as one. How or why did Ginny begin her particular vocation of saving injured or sick cats? Find out more of this incredible evidence of trans-species love or read the book about this wonderful canine angel.
Isn’t it reassuring to find such evidence of love and compassion between supposedly sworn enemies? It makes it easier to spare a kind thought about one’s unkind boss!
