		<description>Animals are always there for us.  I feel really bad sometimes when I push my pet away (cat).  She gets on my nerves sometimes, but I love her to death and would never give her up.  No matter what I do, she is always there for me</description>

		<description>I have never had a pet like a dog or a cat, only fish and a few hamsters. Little hard to connect to those the way I am sure you can with other creatures that you are sure to feel are giving you love back.</description>

		<description>Pets listen better than most people. They also talk to us in the only language they know - love and honesty.</description>

		<description>I know that when I was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago my cat Lovey Dovey was my saving grace. No matter how rough my day had been and what kinds of meds were coursing through my veins she was always there for me. Pets don&#039;t care when you are having a bad day or if you are sick- they just want you to care for them and love them, and when you do that they can do that for you too. For anyone who has never experienced the healing power of a pet I feel bad for them. That is really unconditional love- they love you no matter what.</description>

		<description>It always seems easier to have a meaningful relationship with an animal than a human being. I think ego is the only factor that comes in the way of human relationships.</description>

		<description>My dog Clementine could never be replaced. She gets me through the good times and the bad- life will never be the same without her. I just pray that she lives a good long life.</description>

		<description>I lost my job as a banker and today I work in a pet boutique. The inspiration for that came from my dog. I found that as a banker I looked forward to the end of the day to spend time with my dog.</description>

		<description>Truly loved this article!  I have a cat and a dog and it&#039;s very interesting that you note that it&#039;s about us and what we may be experiencing in our everyday life with people.  I had to stop and think about this and it does seem very true.  Thanks again for this wonderful article.</description>

		<description>I grew up with my dog and she was my best friend through my first crush, first heartbreak, bad report card and finally graduation and work. I still cant bring myself to having another pet because I think at some point my pet became a sibling I never had. Minus the ego and fights. I never cried at anyone&#039;s passing away more than I did when my dog died. A pet enriches life in so many ways that when we look back, we realize that we have grown stronger and more dependable because of them. A pet definitely adds a balance to our emotions and mental well being.</description>

		<description>My pup, ok she wasn&#039;t a pup anymore, died 3 years ago. It was the hardest loss I ever experienced. She was in so much pain and I had to put her down. Best friend I&#039;ve ever had. Still I feel her in my heart, i can see her and smell her too. Whe was an angel for me...anywya..just want to say i&#039;m moved by your respect for the realtionships people have with animals.  I think some animals are healthier, have better attachement and empathy than human beings. dont you?</description>
