No animal has ever bullied, mocked, belittled, insulted, excluded, or lied to me.

Animals have occasionally hurt me, but they have never intended to, and they are always sorry afterward. (Yes, animals can be sorry. You should have seen one of my sweet cats trying to suck up after he accidentally bit me.) Whereas, so many human beings in my life who have hurt me are not sorry at all. In fact, they have tried to convince me either that I only imagined they hurt me, and it didn't actually happen that way, or that I somehow deserved it.

And when that happens, it's often an animal that comes around to comfort me and love me unconditionally.
