I think animal companions are so good for humans because there aren't many other ways for us to practice giving and receiving unconditional love these days. Animals ARE such obvious manifestations of God's love for us. How sweet that is.
I've been thinking a lot about the need there is in the world to help in the healing of animals. I have a good friend, we'll call him Sycamore, he's been talking about doing this 12 week volunteer program with wild wolves and I've just been thinking about how powerful something like that would be and that I'd like to start investing my time in something that can help ill-treated or injured creatures but then that just takes me back to something that I know is a true calling of mine which is helping humans to heal. And if you think about it, God created his people to be the stewards of this earth and to treat all of His creatures with kindness and benevolence. So ima thinkin' how better serve God than by caring for the creatures in my sphere and doing what I can to stir compassion and inspire emotional/spiritual wellness and help to remind my fellow man of their stewardship of Gods beautiful planet.
