Gnu Attacked By Crocodile...

I think a great many acts of animal altruism are known only to those involved in the incident.

When Norbert the guinea pig was 4 weeks old he moved in with his father and older brother. He was shy and the first time I fed them he was uncertain of the food and unsure about helping himself. His brother picked up a piece of fruit and placed it in front of him before he took his own piece. It was such a little thing, but it made Norbert feel welcome.
I wonder how often things like this take place with animals?

I know there are many human acts of kindness that go unnoticed. We are surrounded by goodness and kindness. Someone always carries my groceries down the stairs at the subway. People help with baby carriages. I know there is a lot of bad in the world, but there is a lot of good. I like to hope that the good is the greater.
I think acts of kindness have a way of spreading. Whether you receive or give it changes you for the better. It is a little change like a little seed, but seeds have a way of growing.
