When you share a home with an animal, you learn how to communicate with them, read their moods, and understand their needs through observation. You also get a glimpse into how they exist in this world and what stimulates their interest and why. Interspecies relationships are so special that I feel sorry for people who never get a chance to experience one. When I came across this podcast, I knew I had to listen to it. I know animals have abilities that we as humans overlook, misunderstand, and in the worst cases, exploit. Maybe if we truly understood the fascinating lives that animals lead, we’d stop considering humans supreme and actually try to live in better harmony with nature. Listen to the podcast, read the book. Let’s get out in nature to talk about it all.
