Just a story that made me smile!
This week, I had a company come to my house to install better WiFi. I met a tall, dark skinned gentleman at home. He could hear dogs in the yard and kept asking, “no dogs inside?”. I did my best to assure the obviously uncomfortable man that my dogs were sweet and that he had nothing to be afraid of! Honestly, the whole situation made me nervous too. The man spoke with, what I thought was an African accent! I had difficulty understanding him. After about an hour and a half, I felt comfortable enough to ask him where he was from. He replied, “ “Nigeria” and that he’d been here for 8 years. Still trying to connect with this guy, I asked him to come to the fence and look at Zoya, our 85 pound Sulcata Tortoise, who is of African descent. He got a great big smile on his face as he was familiar with this species from his homeland. 💜
I showed him a couple of our educational animal ambassadors and after that, it was obvious that he cared about animals!
Isn’t it wonderful that the love of animals can transcend language/cultural barriers! 💙
