Curiosity

My good friend, Mac (and cheese)

I constantly wonder, how are there still people in this world who don't respect animals. As cliche as it sounds, they are so wise. Do I sound ridiculous yet? Where in the human species do you find such unconditional love? They pass no judgement, listen without interruption, love you at your worst, and hold no grudges. They comfort you when you're sick, keep all your secrets, and sometimes bring out your wild side. So how do we still see them as "just pets"? How have we not realized that the neglected will still wag their tails in excitement when their neglecter comes home?  I constantly wonder.
