Animals are capable of Love and Attachment
No news here to me but apparently, other people dont think that animals are capable to care about us or other animals.

Here is a new book on this very subject :
Animal Manifesto by Mark Beckoff, PhD - available at Amazon. He also wrote The Emotional Lives of Animals. Do check out these books. Our furry and feathered friends deserve our love and respect as individuals.

And here is an article on the subject from the NY Daily News:
