The length people go for animals


From dragging dolphins back out to shore to crawling across ice to save a dog. People go to great lengths to save animals.

Pets
Owners will do anything for their pets but why? I think that there is a strong link between owners and their pets especially dogs. I find that the saying 'A dog is man's best friend' is very true. Dogs are not just pets they are part of the family and are companions of life. The bond however goes both ways between owner and dog. This is shown firstly by the man in essex who crawled over ice covered river to resque his dog that had fallen in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-17048574 This shows the blind loyalty that owners have that they will risk their own life for their dogs. On the other hand you have the loyal dog that refused to leave a soldiers side even after he died. This shows how strong the connection is between master and dog. It is a long lasting friendship that is often stronger than that between humans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZPx2Wnc0lI

Wild Animals
People will help any animal in need not just their pets. I think often people are more willing to help animals than humas which I think comes from the idea that people have that animals cannot help themselves because it is humans that are making their life difficult. This is the case of animal conservation anyway. But then you also have those people who save animals in need such as in Brazil where a pod of dolphins got stranded on the beach and people dragged them back to sea. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-17309949

I think that the main reason why people help animals because they feel it is their duty and because they sympathise for them.
