If our furry friends could talk.....

Have you ever wondered what our pets would say if they could talk about visible difference? They don't seem to discriminate or judge each other on the basis of appearance do they? And it's interesting that humans seem to love and celebrate difference in animals as the attached story of Enzo the dog with a birthmark shows. metro.co.uk/2020/09/22/ador...

How amazing would it be if we were more like animals? My dog doesn’t give a fig what I look like, he just wants me to be with him and play with his squeaky duck 😊If anyone is struggling with anxiety around leaving the house, and if they are in a position to, I would recommend getting a dog (preferably rescue) I feel so much more confident when my dog’s outside with me, it takes the focus off me, and people always chat to me which is lovely and boosts my confidence.

I think that is an excellent recommendation Blondebombsite! Dogs are so loyal aren't they? It's great to hear that your dog (who perhaps is unaware) helps your confidence just by being with you and that people chat with you. 😍

This is so interesting. I've never really thought about it before but you're right! We have many different animals in my house and none of them seem to pay attention to the fact that I'm different to other humans they have seen.

I love spending time with my dog and my hamsters because they don't judge me. They interact with me just like they'd interact with anyone else. They don't have that awkwardness around me like I've noticed some people do.

That dog is adorable by the way!🥰
