...who says only humans have heart

It is said that the photographer sold these pictures for a nominal price to the most famous newspaper in France.

And all the copies of that newspaper were sold out

on the day of publishing these pictures

We as humans can learn from this can we not. If this does not bring tears to your eyes then what does.

There are so many instances where we as humans forget that animals infact do have emotions and feelings which so many people dismiss.

So the ridiculous questions that we get such as pets being given away 'do they feel badly? Will they miss me? Or shelter animals trying desperately to get your attention, or those that sit fearfully in a cage. What about animals being left behind during moving days, animals abandoned in rural areas, animals being separated from their fur partners.

Thank you for sharing this. Someone, somewhere may 'get it'.

God bless all living creatures. They continue to teach us that fear, love, sorrow, grief is NOT only something that humans feel. We share more than we are aware in regards to 'feelings'.

Those people who nonchalantly drop off their pets should be forced to watch the sadness on their pet's face for days after.

How heartbreaking! Animals feel, just as much or maybe more than we do. We are their world and they suffer when they are just given up.
