Núria is a pet parent who is very aware of the importance of the emotional bond with our pets and the responsibility that having them entails. Her experience writing and directing the 2020 short film “Your Life in Your Hands” led her to share why adopting or purchasing a dog or cat should be a well-considered decision that takes into account the pros and cons. cons of having an animal . And above all, what to do to avoid abandonment and abuse.

Taking her own case as an example, Núria also tells us about the De Cell Number importance of asking a professional for help when necessary. She tells us that, at the beginning, Rita cried for hours when she left the house. Not knowing how to handle the situation, Núria decided to look for an animal educator. With her help, she was able to understand that the problem was not just Rita's, but that, in reality, the problem was in the dependency that Núria generated in her dog. By better understanding the needs, the nature of dogs and their sensitivity to our mood, she taught Núria to overcome other difficult situations.

Thanks to the advice of ethology specialists , Núria and Martita have spoken to their animals in situations that have not been easy, either due to coexistence or external factors. It does not mean that animals understand languages, but they do connect with the emotion with which we speak. Our pets are always there, listening to us, accompanying us and feeling us. Our behavior affects them and vice versa. But what would they tell us if they could talk to us? Surely they would tell us how important we are to them; But they don't need to talk, with their company and affection they tell us everything.



If we take into account that almost half of Spanish homes have a dog or a cat, one might think that our society already understands well what was mentioned above and what the benefits of this coexistence are. However, Isabel Buli explains to us that there are many barriers that we still encounter when we are pet parents . Behind closed doors, a dog or a cat is another member of the family, but when we go outside we find access difficulties, transportation difficulties and coexistence difficulties. For example, this is evident in the difficulty we still have if we have animals and want to rent a home. Only 4% of rental homes allow families with pets . Why do we still have prejudices against animals? Maybe the benefits they bring us have not yet been understood?

As Isabel says, possibly there is still a cultural inertia that relates animals to noise and dirt problems, when in reality, it has been shown that these cases are minimal among complaints of coexistence in cities. There is even a part of the population that does not even consider whether there are benefits or if living with animals demonstrates responsibility. It is true that we still have a lot to learn, but are there reasons to think that we are improving? Yes, nowadays we can go more places with our animals, there is more awareness, more studies showing the important role of dogs and cats and animal rights have been evolving.
