It amazes me how some people cannot make that connection with God's creatures.
By the way, I not only talk to animals, but to insects and plants too. They all respond to love.
Thanks for sharing video, for I can relate very much.It's surprising how care and affection can be shared by humans and animals:
Because animals are innocent, lacking any evil whatsoever, they love as God does, completely and unconditionally.
Because animals are innocent, lacking any evil whatsoever, they love as God does, completely and unconditionally. Humans and dogs have been changed by our long association, each becoming more like the other. Between us is an ancient friendship that transcends the boundaries of species.
Research has shown that when a human and his dog gaze into each other's eyes, they both show brain changes that are healthy and pleasant. We understand each other, from long partnership.
I notice that people who have a bond with animals, talk to them as if they were people. And it seems to work.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

We humans are exactly the same but in a human way - Group psychology is similar, and we war and defend our group to the death....I have four dogs each seemingly with their own personality and characteristics and I love'em to death. But they do behave like dogs, they are pack oriented animals and will bond and protect most members of the pack, even us humans...
I am assuming you are making a funny....But remember when a dog comes up and starts licking your face, they aren't kisses. Its trying to get you to regurgitate your food so it can eat too.:biggrin
Stop,making miss my Siberian Husky.my wife would talk to her. She Does Talk To bella.My Husky Love To Lounge Outside IN Spots To Watch THE world.I miss my companion named Luke. He was a red and tan Kelpie dog, much like this one.
We would go walking every day, mostly to the local park. He was so smart and very affectionate. I could talk for ever about him.
One day I decided to sit on the top step, of the backdoor, to watch the world go by. Luke came up behind me and with his muzzle nudged me over to the left; then sat right next to me and leaned against my body. While we both watched the world go by there was a strong connection of love for each other.

My dog Luke often gave just one single lick. Remember, dogs use uninhibited ways to sense and determine the condition (health, emotions, intentions) of others. Licking is a kiss and also an added way of determination of well-being in the other.
Bella licks any part exposed .I have to stop her,Cheyenne waa very reserved and licked me or my wife at unexpected monents.I would lie on the ground and per her chest and she would lick me arm or hands.she let us know she was ok after loosing blood once at the animal hospital.I miss that dog,slot.A lick from a dog is meant to communicate affection and trust. It's not given lightly, although there are dogs that will nervously give you many tiny licks. That is generally meant to express submission and elicit affection.
it will be hard to say good bye when you have to use his trust to allow the injection to end his life. I had to go through this with Cheyenne. very heart wretching for me and while I have bella to make it easier. my heart aches for the blued eye husky named Cheyenne. she would hide between my legs when vets were going to give her a shot. she knew what needles did and while not so afraid that she would bite I could see the fear of the needles. I have a lot of memories of this dog. all my wife's grandkids are in photos with her. Cheyenne was a character .One day Luke was pawing his left eye, trying to get something out. I had a look at his eye, but saw noting. I flushed his eyes with water but that did not help. So I took him to the vet. I put Luke up onto the examination table and told him to sit. The vet pulled out a harness to put over his muzzle. I said he did not need that. The vet looked at me and decided to trust what I said. As the vet tried several times to grab the seed with a pair of tweezers, it would slip and make a snapping sound. Finally the vet grabbed it and fulled the seed out. All along Luke sat still, did not flinch one bit, and just looked at me. I gave no concern for Luke to worry about what the vet was doing. Luke trusted me explicitly. When it was over the vet stepped back and said, "In all my life as a vet, I have never seen a dog with so much trust." No doubt, I was so proud of Luke.
Here is a picture of him. He is wondering what I am doing with a metal contraption to my face.
