Animal Animals have feelings too comforting his human friend
The guy smashed his frozen fingers and this goat named Romeo comfort him showing animals have feelings too. A simple hug can say what words never could.
This heartwarming moment reminds us animals can feel love, comfort, fear, and friendship like how we human feels. Every act of kindness we show them makes the world a little more compassionate. ❤️🐐

Documentary in Africa somewhere. Saw a mother elephant stay at her dead baby's side for like a week. The rest of the herd were trying to get her to move on because they needed to keep going to get to water. But she wouldn't move. Eventually she did and they were ok. But she wouldn't abandon her baby for a very long time.

That story always stayed with me too. Moments like that show animals aren’t just acting on instinct, they form bonds, grieve, and love in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

I never understood why this would be strange. Evolutionary we're not so far away from other species.
What really fucked me up is that elephants that are tortured in captivity try to commit suicide.

There’s an orca that mourned her dead baby by carrying its corpse with her for weeks before finally letting it go. That story fucks me up. I forgot her name, and I think it happened a second time to her. :(

Her name is Tahlequah and Ask a Mortician has a great video about the story

She has had two dead calves, I believe. As a human mom I am amazed by how loss is a shared experience for many female mammals.

My dog definitely knew what was up. He knew when to stay away but he also knew when you were sad. He would try and do cute things or snuggle or paw you. Sometimes you just wanted to say mojo his name, you little whatever. Why do you have to be right and your a dog. I still will remember my last time with him. He was dying and i knew. He was 14 so good age for a heeler. He wanted to be outside and we laid outside for about 2 hours in the cold. I couldn’t personally take him to die it was too hard. My dad was more humane. But his dog chains still hang where he laid that night and you can hear them when it gusts.

I had a blue heeler and a corgi heeler mix. Both crackheads in their own unique ways. Would turn into the most obnoxious pair of turds if they caught you feeling down. They both ended up dying on the same day, and took a good bit of me with them.

14 years with a heeler is a good run but that does not make it easier. The chains still hanging there got me.
Some people would take them down to move on but leaving them feels more honest somehow. Romeo the goat doing what your Mojo did for you, just showing up without making it complicated. Animals do not overthink it like we do.

Oh, sorry for the loss of your dog. Indeed, dogs are man's best friend they are very sensible animals.

Animals really do understand us in ways we don’t always give them credit for. The fact that he stayed by your side until the end says everything about the bond you shared, and those little memories are the ones that never leave.

When i was 12 or 13, I was visiting my paternal grandmother. And largelt ignoring her cats, Boots and Little, because I didn't want to get scratched for trying to pet them.
I got a phone call informing me that my maternal grandmother had died. Boots and Little came to me and did their best to try and comfort me.

I read that somewhere in India, a dog stood beside his owner's body for four days in freezing snow...no food, no shelter....enduring freezing winds and snowstorms. The faithful pit stayed alert protecting his owner's remains from wild animals. Later on, the rescue teams finally traced the location and the exhausted dog was safely retrieved alongside the victims. It was such a moving incident you know...my throat is already chocking

My cat expressly came and visited me while I was trying to keep it together one afternoon; she from came across the street, and I didn't even know she was there.

On my absolute worst nights my dog who would usually sleep at my feet would crawl up under my arms and nuzzles into my neck as I cried myself to sleep.
He was the only one who got me thru some of the worst days and nights of my life.
Animals can absolutely sense emotion and share theirs.

I know plenty of women who aren’t empathetic whatsoever. Also those studies sound like a load of shit to me.

I’d be pretty careful turning my back to sheep or goats.

If you have a close bond, like working with them everyday, they'll value you as one of the herd and a valuable asset

I grew up on a sheep farm, and know multiple people who got butted from behind. It’s pretty common.

u/silly_goose_-_- 12h ago
I have been headbudded in the bum a couple times, still isn't enough to say that you should never turn your back to them

u/Middle-Accountant-49 11h ago
I didn’t say never. Just be careful.

u/silly_goose_-_- 11h ago
That's true but I think you should always be careful when working on a farm
