Guide Goose of the Day: Renata Kursa, a villager from Poland, says she was heartbroken after her dog Baks lost his sight in a recent accident.
But her four-year-old goose Buttons was more than happy to lend her eyes to Baks, leading him with her neck, or directing him with her honks.
“[G]radually Buttons got him up on his feet and starting walking him around,” says Kursa. “They’re inseparable now - they even chase the postman together.”
How can you have no faith in this world or forget how powerfully beautiful it is to be a conscious part of it when there are so many amazing stories of animals being so humane and loving to one another? If they can be that way, so can humans. Chin up.
Don’t you find it ironic that we use words like “animal”, “savage” and related terms to designate violent, cruel, “inhuman” behaviors and for compassion and tenderness we use “humane”? I think we’re mistaking the terms… We used to think that our intellect and sapience made us ‘civilized’ creatures, compared to ‘wild beasts’, but thousand of years of so called “human civilization” have proven just the contrary. I think we should say that, fortunately, unlike us, animals are inhuman. We remain human, all too human.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk0pbeIt481qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
