Even if animals can't talk...

Wow! It is sheer coincidence. Times of India carried this pic. The info ran as:

LION KING: Animal behaviourist Kevin Richardson has such an intimate bond with big cats that he can spend the night curled up with them without the slightest fear of attack. Richardson, 32, who is based in a wildlife conservation area near Johannesburg in South Africa, works his unusual magic on other species too. Cheetahs, leopards and even unpredictable hyenas hold no threat for him.

How relevant to the day's topic! It seems animals need not talk after all! Looking at Kevin cuddling up to the big cats one doesn't feel the existence of any barrier at all. Some powerful rapport! As Pria suggested, body language, signs and lots of love can break barriers between humans and animals.

May be there is actually no need for any sort of conversation. In most relationships with fellow humans, most of the times, the ability to remain silent, the ability to curb the urge to throw strong words at the other person could be the single most virtue that saved the relationship...Thank God...No one has ever reported a broken relationship with their pets!

That makes the bond between man and the animal all the more intriguing and add that emotional bond to the relationship. . .and that explains the longer life that pet owners purportedly have compared to other love deprived souls!
