Sue likes looking after animals who need a home and when she found 6 kittens that needed rescuing, she set up a blanket in her kitchen and gave them a home.

Within hours, Teasel started allowing the kittens to drink her milk and cuddle up to her. Why do you think Teasel the dog allowed cats to drink her milk?  Some dogs might say...

The picture shows a group of 19 Buddhist monks on a peace walk. What do you think a peace walk is? Do you notice anything else on the walk with them? An abandoned dog has joined the monks. They have named the dog Aloka and he has walked with them for hundreds of miles. First across India and now they are walking 2300 miles across America finishing at Washington DC. Why do you think they are doing this?  Their goal is to promote unity and compassion. What is unity, what is compassion? A governor in Texas said, "When I heard about this 2300 mile walk, I was amazed. It really touches the hearts and minds of people." How can a walk touch heart...
