It is sometimes easy to lose ourselves in the love of animals. Because we can project our emotions onto them, because we see them as loving us unconditionally, because such love can heal our wounds it is often difficult to strike a health balance between caring for animals and loving them too much.

Is there such a thing as loving animals too much? I believe there is. My new friend Treasure loves animals without condition and is love back without condition. For all my own reservations about perspective, it is a beautiful and satisfying thing to see. Love is more powerful than anything, I believe, unleashed it could even heal our world.
