His instrument is a silver horn, which he winds in the most solitary places…One feels that perhaps the wood thrush has more compass and power, if he would only let himself out, but, on the whole he comes a little short of the pure, serene, hymn-like strain of the hermit. Surely then, if ever, one listens to the music of the stars.

While people with dogs often experience the greatest health benefits, a pet doesn’t necessarily have to be a dog or a cat. Many also learn responsibility, compassion, and empathy from having pets. Playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.

Knowledge is more likely to be shared via shared experience than the exchange of data, though both happen.

Not only have dogs and humans influenced each other for tens of thousands of years, they have done so in far more profound ways than any other two species on earth, and primarily in the direction of acting on the capacity for love in all its different manifestations, such as showing sympathy, feeling empathy, and expressing compassion" (xi).

Suffering is far from a uniquely human experience. It is time for us to widen our circle of compassion and follow Spain’s lead in granting legal rights to apes. I was astonished by how many displayed behaviors that overlap with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other trauma-related disorders.

And that means for the animal rights movement: Social entities like compassion, empathy and suffering are very important factors to motivate humans to change their behaviour. Hence, what we need from this point onwards is psychology and not philosophy. And human psychology says that humans are far more social than rational creatures.

All animals except the dog are called "it" (I did a little experiment to see what would happen). And the reverse is true: If parents are unaware, it should be no surprise that whatever compassion or sense of justice a child has is not nurtured. Meanwhile, the lizard has a male name so you'd think he'd be called "he."
