The Divine Connection:
Some pets possess an ageless spirit, of a wise elder who is devoted to assume an exalted righteous purpose as a leader. They become the Chief Happiness Officer, in charge of the management of a Sacred Office. Such pets are capable of give-and-take, forming attachments, that I define as love. Assuming the tenets of the ‘Familia Caritatis’ (the ‘Family of Love’), they enter into a reciprocal relationship with their companions. These pets consider dynamic possibilities and unceremoniously utilize an intimate force that transcends themselves. They establish the necessary actions to serve more than themselves in order to complement the social bond. In the twinkling of the third eye, such pets as horses, birds, dogs and cats, complete the divine connection of a relationship.
