The tragedy is that they tend to live much shorter lives, so over time pet companions become very familiar w/ grief and loss. The other side of the coin is that they can help us so much during bad times. My wife used to call our feline friend Nurse Sissy because she had an instinct for when someone needed help. I miss her more than I can say.
Beautiful sentiment Smarino and I agree completely.

Yup, everything is connected. Some is more connected than others, though.

Would Buddha have hung out with a border collie, do you think? They're pretty busy and somehow Buddha seems unbusy. I'd see him more of a spaniel kinda guy. Hochai would have hung around with a pile of border collies, though.

One of our border collies talks more than the other, but they stare more than they talk.
