They can heal a wounded heart I think. They can be trusted because they know whom to trust. It's not just they are pets or animals but they know how to love their owners like their own. Yes, I remember how painful it was for you back then.
It's hard to trust especially when we experienced a lot of betrayals or just dishonesty.
People tend to have their own agenda and sometimes that means they feel compelled to act poorly to further their own needs. It's ok unless it affects others adversely I guess.
Thanks for your comment.
