I find that our pet’s ability to show emotions, much like us, can make them therapeutic in many ways. Studies show that this response is brought about by oxytocin, the ‘love hormone’ present in all mammals that facilitates social interactions. When Pippi sees a dog yell in pain at the vet’s, he winces, and that’s evidence of this contagion. It’s here that animals experience ‘emotional contagion’- the spontaneous spread of emotions and related behaviours. The limbic system - the seat of all our emotions, memory and learning - is present in all mammalian brains. So, where do all these human-like emotions arise in animals? Turns out it’s from the human-like brain that they have. Not all animals show such emotions to the same levels there is a spectrum depending on the social structures in animal societies. Chimpanzees hug and kiss to console other chimpanzees after fights. Horses and cats read our facial expressions and seem to respond to how we feel.

After all, there was some truth to the rat army in the movie Ratatouille! Piglets become stressed when they see or hear other piglets restrained. Rats also perceive increased pain when they see other rats in pain.

Experiments on lab rats have shown that they actually ‘care’ for rats that they know and free them from traps if given a chance. But, recent studies have shown that animals, in fact, are far more sentient than once thought. Until recently, ideas probing into animals’ emotional side were dismissed as anthropomorphism - the process of ascribing human feelings and emotions to animals. Our pets feeling others’ pain tells us that they have a heart of gold (or something far more precious)! So, are they capable of empathy - an emotion only humans (really, I wonder) and some primates seem to possess? Is there more going on with a tail wag or a purr? Although not headline-grabbing, soul-stirring stories of pets caring for one another in a multi-pet household are far too familiar. Cats are not far behind - many have been known to ‘adopt’ puppies and other animals and care for them. They stood at the door, and a heartwarming photograph of that scene went viral. When a homeless man in Brazil was admitted to a hospital, the dogs he fed visited him. Remember that intelligent Indie who alerted his family of smoke from the kitchen before disaster struck? Dogs also seem to feel for their kin. He’s not alone dogs have proved to science that they give it all to ‘save’ their owners in distress. Pippi’s outpouring of concern is primarily around his humans cats, squirrels and rabbits don’t figure in his list yet. Every time, his all-knowing-ness leaves us in awe. When we chuckle, his FOMO kicks in, and he joins us in an instant to know what’s up. A hint of despair, and he miraculously appears next to us, sharing his warmth. He gets all ‘nosey’ during a family squabble, nudging us with his snout to calm us down, or so we think. Although never a cuddle bug, he sticks to us like Velcro when we are in pain. A whiff of anxiety in the air unsettles him to no end. What we do know is Dazzle will surely mess everything up and Rad is the most ridiculous person on the planet.At home, no one reads the room better than Pippi does. Why is she slumming it with the inept group of dinguses at the Moonbeam City Police Department? We may never know. Not just a little wealthy, but family owns a city wealthy.
