Animals don’t think like humans. They don’t speak our language. Their brains work differently but one thing that binds us all together is love. Love needs no medium for communication as it has its own language that every living being understands. Animals react to empathy and love. When taken care of, they develop a bond with their owner. They try their best to love their owner with all the love and compassion they have.
Humans are drawn to keeping pets. Sometimes, our children wish to have one, and at other times, we just want someone to welcome us when we come home. Not to mention, pets are perfect crime partners too! Their big eyes, cute paws, and funny actions keep our heart and home warm with love and laughter. These little furry animals love being with humans and are always hoping someday someone will come and rescue them from the streets, abandoned places and shelter homes. Take them to their place, keep them and nurture them. Provide them with a home. This act of kindness not only brings peace and satisfaction to a person’s life but also blesses them with a friend that will always be by their side. Someone they can always count on.
Here are some touching pictures of abandoned animals that were rescued and adopted. The photos are stories shared below will prove that humanity is greater than anything else.
Look at those gray eyes.
