Not like us?

Dog waits by grave.

People say animals are not like us. Here's a photo of a dog in Brazil who has been waiting by his owner's grave for two solid days, ever since the woman was killed by a mudslide.

How can people say animals are "lesser" creatures? They're different, true. But their lives are as valuable as ours and as meaningful. Just because they can't play the piano doesn't mean their lives are worth less than ours. Love, felt by people or animals, is the exact same emotion.
