The Enchanting Kingdom of Animals The Time Has Come
As a reader of this column you know that I lost both my dogs within 18 months of each other. So since the last 20 months I have lived by myself, dogless, and in a vacuum of grief, something which never really leaves you. It's strange really, not to be able to express the pain to anyone for you don't want to make those around you uncomfortable. They have moved on... however close to you they may be, they won't understand the feeling. Inshy and Tasha, barring for one or two, or just very few, are a forgotten lot.

A Lifetime with Chimps
Jane Goodall was one of the most extraordinary scientists and conservationists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Her pioneering research on wild chimpanzees in Africa fundamentally changed how the world understands animals - and humanity itself. But her compass was larger: \"All animals matter. Every animal is an individual. Just as every human being is an individual and all are deserving of our respect and our compassion and our care.\"
