Beautifully stated! Wow! Thank you for sharing that!

Not too long ago, I was going through a very emotional time. My bunny, Sophie, never failed to comfort me. She *just knew* when to make me laugh or when to let me hold her and cry. I love her so, so much!

After my first cat died, our kitten wanted so badly to comfort me. I (selfishly) refused to want anything to do with her. But she persistantly would sit near me and reach out with her paw. She never forced herself on me (sitting in my lap, etc)--just gently touched me with her paw, to let me know she was there. I get so upset at myself remembering how I treated her then; she was trying to comfort me while I grieved and I pushed her away.

I posted a heart-wrenching story about a collie under Dog Rescue: Why?
Molly, is a dog I will never forget. Despite her circumstances, she never held a grudge against humans. Her love for people truly amazes me.

So, yes, I completely agree that pets make their owners better people!
