It is hard to sum up in words the importance of the role that animals play in life, let alone those who become entwined in our daily lives. Creatures great and small tug at our heart strings and teach us invaluable lessons.

This report is intended to help repay the favour and in a small way help us understand how to best nurture and sustain our animal counterparts. No matter what species of animal you have drawn into your life, this report may give you a better understanding of his or her nature. Through understanding comes tolerance, care and love.
