What special offer has nature given?
Today’s Inleo prompt for April edition took my mind to moments I watched Nat Geo Wild—though it was a display of wild animals, I got a lesson from it—about this imitating character that is similar to humans. One of the amazing things that nature has offered us is animals that can be used as pets. They are creatures with different characters that bring joy, comfort, and companionship to our daily existence. One of the remarkable abilities they possess that I cherish so much is their senses, which are similar to human emotions; they express their joy, sorrow, and everything just as we often do. Another funny character is pretense; they act innocent even when they are clearly at fault.
Looking at the joyous quality of a pet, they greet their owners when he or she returns; a bird perches on its owner’s shoulder, while a dog playfully wags its tail oftentimes. I have no pet though, but I do admire them; most of these experiences are gotten from what I watch on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. I see their enthusiasm is filled with affection, showing their bond with humans.
Similarly, when relating to human emotions, pets also respond to moments of sorrow or distress. They shed tears the way humans do; they too can display signs of grief or anxiety. They produce different sounds for different occasions: a mournful howl from a lonely dog, the plaintive meowing of a cat, etc. All these sounds have their meaning and are an expression of how they feel.
In this recent era, people replace humans with pets due to some circumstance. They feel pets tend to be more understanding, loving and caring than humans. Moreso, there is a perception that humans are too busy and tend not to be give the attention.
However, what is most surprising about the emotional bond between people and pets is its reciprocity. We are attentive to the sentiments of our pets, just as we are to our own. We celebrate their achievements, lament their losses, and treasure the shared moments; these activities build a sense of connection.
Conclusion:
Pets are more than just animals; they are cherished companions, caregivers, affectionates, etc. Pets, with their limitless capacity for love and instinctive ability to perceive and imitate human emotions, remind us of the beauty of connection and the lasting power of empathy in a society that is sometimes too busy. So readers, nothing is as beautiful as having a pet for yourself; and for those who has one, please take care of them, cherish them just as they do same to you.
