How we are
We begin to understand it is how we are.
My husband and I have learned from an elusive bird that has come to our garden. The first one came several years ago, a few years later, a pair came, and this year, there were three of them.
They are a shy, elegant bird and never stay still, but we have noticed that, whenever we walk outside, or sit out on the verandah, they find an excuse to come into the nearest shrubs. They like to be around us. It is a natural interaction.
Our natural dominion is...
“over the fish in the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, all wild animals on land, and everything that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26
We were made to interact, so of course, pets are therapeutic. It is how we are!

In
recent years ‘pet therapy’ has been officially recognized as health-giving.
It is now understood that children and the elderly, or the lonely or the
ill, receive a special benefit from close contact with the living creatures
around them.
