From that day on I decided animals are a gift to us and decided to go vegan.

I had one once that would follow me then stand up on my leg I could feel his little claws. He would even get up and sit on my mother's knee. I have one now that takes notice when he hears my voice in the house. He waits for me to come out then runs up to me to get fed. It always amazes me how gently they take the food out of my fingers. It's always sad when they disappear. I always miss them. At least we've had the pleasure to take care of them while their here and I'm sure it added a little something to their lives .

      I had a similar experience except it was with a raccoon. Found 2 lb pup paralyzed after being hit by a car. You have to be a little more knowledgeable for their care, they have special needs, but I couldn’t have said it better “It’s been a whole awakening of something I didn’t know I needed”. I was always a bit afraid of raccoons. Raccoons are smarter than dogs and almost as smart a rhesus monkey. After having a chance to experience their really very sweet gentle character, I love raccoons and even fewer people understand that.

      A frog has around 16 million.
      A hamster around 90 million.
      A rat around 200 million.
      And then we quickly get into the billions with animals like racoons or dogs.
      We humans come in at around 86 billion neurons.
      The relations are crazy. Our brains compared to something like a snail, but also the fact that a snail brain already has 11k neurons and is more than capable of learning...

    When I was 11 years old and playing jump rope, I sat down next to a hedge for a few minutes. Out of the hedges jumped a baby squirrel into my arms. I was shocked he wasn't afraid. I couldn't find a parent or nest. I took him home and our family raised him. When he was 6 months we began introducing him to living outside. He kept coming back. One day we saw him with a girlfriend. He withdrew from us and was able to return to the wild.

We have gone 12 years with a Havanese dog, as long as my son and husband don’t get all up close. Every single one of them are allergic to cats, but the four daughters loved having a dog growing up! And now I’ve rescued two guinea pigs and keep them in an area away from those who are allergic. It works because the piggies are in one space, away from everyone.
      If I didn’t have a family with allergies, I have no idea how many pets I would have!

Maybe the whole 'pet industry' is an inevitable problem once humans follow their want for a pet. Maybe the cat-and-dog world is a practical warning sign to not do it with further species. - Humility practice. Serving instead of ruling.

      @Adam Jensen - I don't see much of whatever that "domestication" is supposed to have done. But I see pets with all kinds of different personalities and aims, cats who never want to go outside and are all cuddly as well as cats who want to roam wild in the neighborhood. The same will apply to all kinds of animals, and their choice or origin of habitat may already convey a tendency there. Humans are animals, and in this variety of personality and outlook very much like any animal.

The mother and fawn did appear later in what seemed like a thank you. The two coyotes today are full grown and handsome animals, and I have seen no more deer attacks.

      I have an indoor/outdoor squirrel named Penelope. She used to be more friendly, but can and will bite if you do something to upset her. They can bite to the bone, no problem. We know this personally. You never know how much "wild" you will get in your squirrel, but on average the boys are friendlier. I love my squirrel, but definitely have learned what you can and cannot do around her. If you do get one, just know that they all start out sweet and cuddly, but can change when they get older. Some want to be homebodies, some absolutely have to leave. Some are super sweet like this one, others will literally put you in the hospital. It is a luck of the draw, more or less.

    That is so precious! Animals know what they need & he needed help & he needed you, he chose wisely! And once you offer to release if they don’t want that kind of life then respect their choice, the main thing is for them to have a happy life.... he does. He obviously loves you & you love him, everyone is happy! Can I come visit & play with Peanut?😂😂 I always wanted to get to pet a squirrel they are so cute! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    The Dodo is my favorite RUclips site! I love all animals and I find a special place inside myself every time I see a video of animals and people loving one another! Thank You for the daily reminder that there are good people out there after I’ve been subjected to the evils that man commits. Once again THANK YOU ❤️

    Thank You Our Good Brother And Our Good Sister For Doing All You Done To Help Gods Beautiful Creatures. I Tried To Save A Squirrel While Wrongly In A Mental Health Hospital In Warley Brentwood. I Got Him as Safe As I Coud While I Run In to Call RSPCA for help. I placed him In an over turned traffic cone I placed on its side up of the ground so foxes couldnt get him. He stood up looking for me I see him through the window I was tapping the office window saying it is ok I am getting you help and then I am coming back out I am not leaving you. He was perched up standing looking for me his little hands on the cone. He had internal bleeding Bless him he was frightened I finished the call I didint realize at the time how seriously hurt he was. I went rushing back out talking saying help is on the way. I poked my head in the huge gap of the cone he had gone he had passed over. I was absoulutly distraught i said i am so sorry I didint realize how hurt you are I said a nice prayer passing him Back To Heaven as i stroked his little body he had already got rigamotous. It was so difficult for me that experiance. God Rest His Soul Amen xxxxxxx Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx With Our Ever Growing Ever Loveing Heavenly Family Amen xxxxxxx I cried again over this just now wow it upset me remembering this Earthly Life Time Experiance x

      I have 8 feral cats (that came here as kittens), a baby raccoon and a baby skunk that come to my house every evening to eat. Baby wild life come here a lot. They eat here daily and once they're strong and healthy they move on. I think The word is out that it's safe here. The baby skunk is the cuttest thing ever! I watch it eat and then it plays with the leaves on the back porch. I want to bring it in the house so bad!
