The story is to encourage people to know, love and respect animals, all wildlife and the environment and our country. They may be wild bush animals or domesticated pets. The respect for each comes from kindness, daily engagement with the pet and love for them. They will give unconditional love and respect in return. The kindness should also extend to the wild animals if people live in rural or city areas where wild animals dwell close by. I am inspired by my love of animals and love of Homeland and Country. The unconditional love that an animal gives to you cannot be compared with love from people because in my opinion it is far greater. My grandmother also inspired me to be proud of who we are, we had animals, fish, birds and the environment as our Totems we lived peacefully with them. We had ceremonies for them to celebrate their lives. We lived off the land, Totemic practices helped us to ensure all creatures and animals were used for food, but there were limitation rules that saved Totems from extinction by Aboriginal people.
