"You are always responsible for the one you have tamed." Even if you haven't read The Little Prince, you're familiar with this phrase. But today, in our reality, there are others — a stray cat, a stray dog... But we are talking about pets. You and I make them homeless, with all the problems that follow. And they are silently waiting for help from us. Many of the lesser brothers perform feats, die in the name of you and me.
Let us turn again to the great Antoine de Saint-Exupery and the "Little Prince": "Only the Heart is sharp-sighted. You won't see the most important thing with your eyes."
Let this be our simple secret, too.
With respect,
Fyodor Yurchikhin
