Seeing my 1st Hummingbird in the morning and a puppy dying on a pavement with people paying no attention, the same day. Feeling such joy at beauty, following it around the garden quietly, a truly amazing iridescent creature. The puppy was pitiful, not a single person cared, it really upset me, he died in my arms. Rabies I thought, don't know for sure.
I was in Cuba, perhaps people had seen so much hardship, a puppy simply did not register. I have also been told that Hispanic Catholics don't believe animals have souls? I have no idea about this, I should have asked. It was not a negative experience, per se.
