I've always wished that animals were much more friendly and not so skittish. I do understand that humans love to hunt their trophies into extinction so I can see why there isn't a better bond between animal and man. I'd love to be able to sit with more animals more often when out and about. Maybe all we need is Butch. He'll lead the way.
I've been outside trying to communicate with other life forms, for real. It's easy. They are far more loving than humans in general.
