PICTURE COMPOSITION
We have evolved from animals and since then. we humans do have a connection with them Animals have been man's best friends and companions as they understand us so well that we don't even have to say what we don't want or feel. It is said very often that a Dog is a man's best friend.
The relation that you develop with an animal is lifelong and rigid unlike that which you build up with another person.
The people who have pets would be able to explain better, the relation they hold with these animals. Animals respond back with all their love and affection and would make sure that no harm reaches us. Whether it is a bird or an animal, pets have a special bonding with their masters.
Apart from the bonding, they also provide great services to their masters. For example, cats and dogs are the most common pets found. Cats help in keeping the house clean by killing rodents and insects and dogs safeguard the house and keep strangers away. The sensitivity to smell in dogs has been the greatest tool used to hunt down criminals. Apart from them, even birds from a great company. Parrots are wonderful pets and they talk so much that it is really fun to be with them. They also inform the owner when strangers are around.
Apart from cats and dogs, horses, elephants, donkeys, and camels can also be tamed and used by man for his needs. These animals help a man in several ways and have been of great help to man for several decades. Animals also rescue men from danger; There have been instincts where dogs have saved small kids or old men from dangerous situations like drowning or an accident.
The help that these animals give can not be measured by any means and animals and man does share a special kind of bonding. Rather than seeing the commercial side with animals, if a man tries to be, more compassionate with them, they would do anything for him and will maintain an everlasting relationship.
