Saturday Surprise — Critter Love

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, Humour, Saturday Surprise

Given the events of the past week, I thought there couldn’t possibly be a Saturday Surprise post in me this week, and was preparing a post about … well, you’ll find out this afternoon.  But then, I came across a post on Bored Panda and … by about the 7th picture, I found a funny thing happening to my face.  The corners of my mouth were turning up and I was saying, “Awwwwww …” repeatedly!  So, long story short, I decided that I could step away from the drama & trauma of the world for just a bit and share some “awwwww … “ moments with you guys.

It seems these days that some people cannot accept any who look different from themselves, say have a different skin tone or accent.  But these critters prove that looks, fur colour, size, gender, and even species are irrelevant in the grand scheme.

According to Arizona Humane Society’s Pet Behavior and Pet Training Manager Jenny Dagnino, social relationships and friendships between animals of different species are common.

Take a look at some of these guys … I guarantee they’ll bring a smile to your face …

This pelican befriended the dog who kept hanging out and seemed lonely.  The man who took this picture adopted the dog, but brings him back every day to visit his pelican friend.

Wasn’t there once a book or a film titled “The Owl and the Pussycat”?

And I know there is both a novel and a Disney film about “The Fox and the Hound”!

You may remember these two, Herman the pigeon who can’t fly, and Lundy the chihuahua who can’t walk, for I wrote a post about them in February.

    • That is a thought that I have multiple times every day. Humans consider themselves ‘superior’ to the animal kingdom, but we are not … WE ARE NOT! Sure, we can build tall buildings, design computer programs, but when it comes down to the things that really matter, we are sub-standard.
