When I say that I love animals, I mean to say that I am IN love with them. Because they don't know evil and have never been tempted by it. Because they are the purest image of any higher being I have ever known. Because their souls are made of a much larger magic than my own, and if you let them, they will show it to you. Because this world is theirs, they were here first. And we should all love them a little more for graciously allowing us to have so much of it. Mia Hollow
About This Quote

In Ancient Greece, a person could legally own a pet for their own enjoyment. The owner was required to provide shelter and food to the animal, but it did not have to be kept in a cage or confined. In Greek mythology it is said that the gods gave man a companion animal to be his friend and protector. The story goes that Zeus, king of the gods, asked Hephaestus, god of fire and craftsman, to create a dog.

Hephaestus created the dog with the face of a lion and gave him great strength and courage. Zeus gave him the name “Hercules” which means “the glory of the heavens” in Latin.
