We here start with Biblical figures twinned with animals or plants, & each line is a jewel. “Let Ucal bless with the Cameleon, which feedeth on the Flowers and washeth himself in the dew”!   The big themes in the relation ships of human & animals showes the love & loyality & affection shown by these animals

The human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial, dynamic relationship between people & animals that is influenced by behaviors essential to the health & wellbeing of both. This includes, among other things, emotional, psychological, and physical interactions of people, animals, and the environment.Animals have been along side people for centuries and them being by our side we’ve assigned them certain traits and meanings as an attempt to connect with them on a deeper level.

Animals have been along side people for centuries and them being by our side we’ve assigned them certain traits and meanings as an attempt to connect with them on a deeper level. The Egyptians treated felines as almost gods in their culture because, after domestication, they killed vermin which helped crops grow. That praise evolved into worship, and gave felines new meaning among human beings. Human beings don’t have any idea what it’s like anymore to be one with their natural surroundings which is why we focus so intently on relating to the lives of animals. The more we try to become kindred with animals, the more definitive the relationship between humans and animals becomes. Our relationship is almost anything we decide it to be on our end of it, but as for the animals they seem to fairly indifferent .IT INCREASES THE LEVEL OF SEROTONIUM.

        Being in a relationship with the natural world, Is a fantastic experience Our interactions with animals are many and various, ranging from devotion to a pet goldfish, say, to the raw violence that take place in a dogfighting ring or factory farm. The relationships I’m drawn to, and have chosen to highlight below, are intimate, enigmatic and mostly benign, characterised by hopeful longing for communion with minds and bodies like but unlike our own.

Animals are also used in everyday physical therapy to increase movement in the handicapped or elderly.

Animals help with physical fitness which will boost their moods substantially. For example, elderly people that are in nursing homes have been able to work with animals as a type of therapy Therapists have recently started prescribing pets as a way of dealing with and recovering from depression and anxiety. The unconditional love that is given from a pet to a human when petting it or playing with it, actually elevates their moods to a state where they are no longer depressed or anxious. Stroking, holding, cuddling, or otherwise touching a loving animal can rapidly calm and soothes humans when they’re stressed. The companionship of a pet can also ease loneliness, and some pets are a great stimulus for healthy exercise, which can substantially boost mood. The more that people interact with animals the less likely they will isolate themselves

As put up in the question whether it is possible for humans to have Genuine relation ship with other animals & what that means for how to treat other animals.

Therefore the reply to the question is the TRUE illustration exists today also : which I feel should be put forth:

TODAY EVEN A TRUE STORY OF Dr PRAKASH BABA AMTE'S ANIMALS ARK( IN INDIA ) : This is a true illustration where the Dr AMTE cares for the the animals wether domstic or wild .Yes, it is possible at ‘Animal Ark’, Hemalkasa, home to Dr. Prakash Baba Amte and his family and a haven to all the wild animal orphans of the region. The selfless efforts and the outpour of love and care from Dr. Prakash Amte and his wife Dr. Mandakini Amte have shown that man and the animal can indeed live together as family members.

His journey began in 1970's when the doctor duo during a stroll in the Dandarayana forest came across some tribal people carrying a dead monkey with its baby still suckling at her breast. Moved by the sight they bought the baby monkey from the tribespeople in exchange for rice and clothes into their home at Hemalkasa. The inclusion of the baby monkey into their family set the ball rolling for the establishment of ‘Animal Ark’ which later on became a home to several such animal orphans. Many animals whose parents were killed for food by the tribal people followed the red-faced baby monkey and they arrived in all types.Since the last forty years, the orphanage has warmly welcomed several jackals, jungle cats, leopards, deer, snakes, giant squirrels, Indian pythons, sloth bears, hyenas, crocodiles, birds and owls into its fold. There was a time when the number of animals living as family among the Amte clan and the villagers totaled to 300. It was only later that cages were erected to house the animals in the orphanage as a regulatory procedure. The cages have in no way hindered the ease and freedom of the animals nor the unbound love showered by the Amte family on them.
