If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
Give credit where credit is due
Look into an animal’s eyes
If you don’t see a sentient being
You’re doing it wrong
They understand all
Yet speak none
Could you do the same
All-knowing, all-wise, all-powerful
Stupid
human?
“It's Amy,” I said. 
What do you see?
The cult of personality!
(Sorry. I couldn’t resist)

Your poetic approach to the blog prompt is deeply thought-provoking and beautifully written. The way you encourage readers to look into an animal’s eyes and recognize their sentience is a powerful reminder of the depth and wisdom that animals possess. The contrast you draw between their understanding and their silence, and the introspective question posed to the reader at the end, offers a compelling perspective on our relationship with animals. Your post invites readers to reflect on the depth of understanding and communication beyond words, a lesson that is both humbling and profound. Excellent work in conveying such a meaningful message through your writing. Keep inspiring your readers with your insightful reflections!

There’s no doubt they understand, and it is indeed a shame that we humans can’t take a tip from them and be quiet, at least once in awhile.

Indeed. It’s when we’re quiet that we can hear the most. Even that which is not said.

Agreed. That’s why they say the best leaders do more listening than talking.

How some people can think that animals aren’t sentient, beats me.

Beautiful response to another question that makes me groan. I commend you for giving the time and thought to stay engaged with bloganuary…
My animals understand so much and offer up boundless love…
Sentient beings… takes one to know one.
