"Lots of people talk to animals. Not very many listen, though. That's the problem." --Benjamin Hoff

More Than Human: Striking Animal Portraits

""Erasing the awe-inspiring variety of sentient life impoverishes all our lives," historian Joanna Bourke wrote in her poignant meditation on what it means to be human.

Maria Popova shares a collection of these portraits here.
