I definitely believe that animals can care. Instinctively the animals do this. On numerous occasions mankind has ignored his instinctive desire. Overthinking the situation and not just reacting. Being afraid of the liability lawsuits and such things of this nature. I am only 34 & I am very much afraid that the younger generation is so disconnected from its surroundings that they would even care. You see it time and time again. There will be a couple sitting at a restaurant texting. I'll sit there and observe them. Through the entire dinner they do not say two words to each other. It's f*cking scary! Are we truly becoming that disconnected. It's sad but I think we can learn something from our inferior furry friends.
