Be Kind to Animals Week
The first full week in May (beginning May 5) has been
designated by the American Humane Association as
a time to appreciate pets and other animals. Dogs and
cats go back to ancient times as friends to humans, and
both were once worshipped as gods in some societies.
Dogs were probably the first domesticated animal, up to
15,000 years ago; the history of cats runs more like
5,000 years. In the 11th century A.D., a dog named
Saur was named king of Norway by his master, the real
ruler, who was angry with his subjects. Closer to home.
Dr. Samuel Johnson fed his favorite cat. Hodge, fresh
oysters every day, while Theodore Roosevelt invited
the double-toed Slippers to diplo
matic dinners
A cat may look at a king.
cr Whan choosing a pet, keep Its lifespan in mind. Cats
and dogs may live 20 years or more.
