I love animals deeply—more than anyone except my family and my closest friends.
I believe it is entirely possible, especially for people who do not have children, to love an animal as much as a child. Love is not about what we receive in return; it is about what we feel compelled to give. True, unconditional love is something we rarely experience in human relationships, yet animals seem to offer it naturally. When their only desire is to make us happy, how could we not become deeply attached to them? If people showed the same kind of pure affection, loving them would be far simpler.
Over the years, my family—including the children—has had several wonderful pets who are no longer with us. We often talk about their unique personalities, their little habits, and the joy they brought into our lives. We remember them and miss them just as we do other family members who have passed away.
My neighbor’s children are grown now, and she lives with two very old dogs whom I believe she would give her life for. She has even put herself under financial strain to seek the best medical care for them, traveling out of state for treatments for one dog’s severe back problems. The other is barely surviving cancer. She never hesitates to do whatever is necessary for them. At times, it seems she loves them even more than her own children. I worry about the day when they are gone, because I know how deeply she will feel their loss—and I completely understand why.
