Human and pet (especially dogs and cats) connection is always revolutionary. Dogs may not communicate with their owner through word of mouth but they often feel a multitude of emotions towards their owners.Zubayydah wrote: ↑08 Jul 2020, 17:39 Agreed. I personally had a deep connection with my dogs. Especially when it comes to our emotions. A person could be feeling sad and their pet picks up on their mood and tries to offer comfort. It is a beautiful connection to have. It definitely exists in real life.
Animal/Human connections- To what extent is this science “fiction”?

This is a fair point. I believe the author overdid the connection between Grant and Shadow to a make-believe level.Elvis Best wrote: ↑07 Jul 2020, 22:32 I feel the author overdid it a bit there. It was easier for me to believe it in the beginnings, but later it all just like flat out fantasy. I don't think humans can have full on conversations with animals in real life though. There can be a strong connection, for sure, but full on conversations are another thing altogether.

This is realistic. I totally agree that humans and animals can communicate based on body language. In this volume however, the communication between Grant and the wolves is way beyond limit. The author exaggerated it to a point of fantasy.

I think that it is possible for a human to have strong connections and bonds with animals, and even communicate in some ways, but I do not think that it is realistic for them to hear each other’s words clearly in their minds.Adrianna Melillo wrote: ↑06 Jul 2020, 07:21 Grant has an obvious connection with “Shadow.” While it seems a little more in-depth than even some of the strongest human/animal connections we know exist, is it totally unrealistic? Is it possible for a human to communicate so efficiently with another animal?
