As adults, we tend to complicate our relationship with animals. At some point, we see them for who they really are: wonderful beings with desires and a willingness to live. Girls and boys have it more clear. Furry or feathered, even with scales, and huggable? These are friends.

Easy, isn’t it? And as with seeds, they just need to be watered in order to sprout. And that’s where we come in as adults: we are responsible for watering those seeds and not letting them dry out.

Boys and girls generate bonds with animals quickly if they are allowed. Are they wrong or are the adults who broke those ties at some point during their lives those who’ve gotten it wrong?
