#9. Let Me Look Into Your Eyes

Have you ever looked deeply into the eyes of a dog or cat? You can really sense that there is a 'presence' behind those eyes. Do you ever wonder if they have a soul-essence ? An animal seems to function mostly through instinct, but to what extent are animals capable of thinking ? (Of course, the brain capacity of a human is much, much greater than that of an animal.)

Did you ever imagine what it would be like to live as a pet -- or any animal, for that manner? Can you put yourself in the 'shoes' of an animal? Would life as an animal be boring or adventurous? Would it be pleasant? stressful? peaceful?

Does your pet try to communicate with you? Do you recognize the various sounds it makes? Share your wisest insights into the life of your pet.
