In training animals I verbally correct only when necessary, and praise and love them constantly showing them respect. The pets return my love and respect more than one hundred percent.
Example: Being very ill, I passed out on the floor. Regaining conscientiousness I found my pets doing their best to help me. Timmy the cat was lying over my left ankle, Ivory the cat was laying over my right ankle, and Ingrid the dog was lying by my side. Only when I felt better did the animals leave their post. God uses even little animals to help.
"The intelligence displayed by many animals approaches so closely to human intelligence that it is a mystery.
". The animals see and hear and love and fear and suffer. They use their organs far more faithfully than many human beings use theirs. They manifest sympathy and tenderness toward their companions in suffering.
" Many animals show affection for those who have charge of them, far superior to the affection shown by some of the human race. They form attachments for man which are not broken without great suffering to them."

I just found this quote: "Ellen White felt that God directed in her selection of Charlie, a faithful horse given to the White family to draw a donated carriage. She enjoyed freeing Charlie’s harness so he could pick and eat apples off the trees they passed when he was pulling their buggy.
