Are You Ready To Get Down On Your Fours?
Animal Awareness Exercises
Have you ever thought how different the world must appear to an animal on four legs?
How different their experience of the world must be from yours! Some dogs, for example, cannot see over tall grass. How limited and vulnerable that must make them. Try the following exercise to get an idea of the totally different world in which four-legged animals live. When do you feel stronger and more in control - on four legs, or on two?
That’s why smell is important to a four-legged animal. “An animal on its hind legs can smell farther than it can see.” (Robert Ornstein & Paul Ehrlich, New world. New mind. Methuen, 1989)
And while you’re down on all-fours, have a good howl! I bet that makes you feel better! But what are you communicating? And to whom? The range of sounds that you can make to express yourself is very great. But what about a dog or cat? Observe how many different sounds dogs and cats make. Try to figure out what these sounds mean and how they communicate.
