Precious our cocker spaniel of seventeen years was a perfect example. One day a bird flew into our breeze-way hitting the sliding class door. It was stunned and appeared dead. Precious needed to go out so I let her watching closely so she wouldn't hurt the bird. She walked over to it, gently nudged it with her nose several times until the bird began to move. Then she went on out into the yard and the bird flew away. This was awesome to watch Precious genuine concern over the bird and the bird responding to her.

Isaiah 11:6 - In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all.
