Within the animal kingdom\, strong societies are formed within herds\, unusual inter-species friendships and adaptation is required\, pure instinctual capabilities are necessary for survival\, and body language\, sounds and scents are used to declare disfavor\, profess love\, announce dominance\, and express pain.

Alienation\, isolation\, and longing are emotions that we have felt at some point\, whether it be true exile or of our own perspective. Sometimes\, when we feel excluded from one group\, we gravitate towards another. The acknowledgement of the various species' differences can then be seen as a single herd of advantages. Through my research\, I have found that inter-species adoption and friendships have become common occurrences.
