From a young age‚ I relished the time I spent with‚ or near‚ any animal. I used to sit outside and watch as birds and squirrels searched meticulously for food‚ then ran around chasing each other playfully in my backyard‚ wondering what their lives were like and how different‚ or similar‚ were their lives from mine? I would spend numerous hours teaching my dog tricks‚ and I wouldn’t give up without him completing the task‚ or at the very least‚ having made some progress in doing so. And every afternoon
