• If we have a stone in our house and we like the stone very much, the stone will not be aware of our love to that degree to which a plant would be conscious of it.
• If we have a plant, and care for it and tend it, it will respond to our care and will flourish.
• The animals feel affection. If we keep an animal in the house, how much affection and love it can feel!
• The tame animals in time grow to be as affectionate as one of the family.
• It was Joseph's dog that fed him while in the well until he was found by travellers passing that way.
