On Sundays, I usually volunteer at the local animal shelter. The veterinarians there teach volunteers like
me to be kind to all animals and to not maltreat them for any reason. Admittedly, some of the tasks I do,
such as cleaning up after the animals, stacking large bags of pet food, and emptying and then refilling water
bowls, can be laborious, but the veterinarians always point out that they are important. After all, they
contend, anyone who wants to work with pets and always treat them in a humane manner must learn to be
patient and consistent.
