Love Matters

I don't know it's truly scientific,
My cow-keeper says, it's realistic;
He washes the animals; oils them well,
Massages them; seems imparts unique spell;
They seem understanding him so thorough,
Though their dealings seem, sometimes, very rough;
Plays some enchantingly pleasing music,
Rises and stands even the ones so sick;
Stand listening to him as though he's Zen,
Lick, lets lap, lovingly leaping, listen;
Like source of greatest of flooding rivers,
Milk from their udders, like drizzles, showers...

It is so true. Animals reciprocate our love, perhaps more than humans. Take the case of a dog. So are cows, goats and even chickens ! All the mahouts say elephants are very loyal and affectionate to them. We see most of the animals responding to sweet sounds
