Have you been watching the
animal stories on TV recently? I’ve been watching them with Mum and our minds
have been boggled by what we’ve seen.
There was a great big chap
that Mum said was a rhinoceros. He was much, much bigger than me. When I first
saw him, I hid behind the sofa, but Mum told me not to worry as he couldn’t get
out of the TV. Well, he lived with his human and mostly stayed outdoors – but
sometimes he came inside the man’s house and sniffed around.
Mum kept holding her breath
and commenting how amazing it was that he never knocked any furniture or
ornaments over. I hope she wasn’t thinking about the day I broke a picture
frame with a swish of my tail!
Anyway, then among these
strange pet stories, we saw a girl hugging and kissing some lions. She must
have loved them to do that, mustn’t she? Mum said so and Mum usually knows. Mum
also said that love between humans and animals can cross boundaries you’d never
expect it to cross.
The man with the pack of
creatures called hyenas must have loved them a lot. He wrestled with them and
often ended up in hospital because sometimes they seemed to like biting him.
But he didn’t seem to mind as he sensed they didn’t mean him any harm. I sensed
the same thing. It was their way of playing. Mum reminded me that I bit her
once or twice, back when I was a puppy, and she knew that they were kind of
love bites.
If you’ve been watching
these animal stories too, which ones mind-boggled you?
