All creatures deserve our love and highest respect. All beings...

All creatures deserve our love and highest respect. All beings have earned our compassion. This beautiful Swallowtail Butterfly was drowned in my dogs summertime plastic swimming pool when I found her. I held her for about 25 minutes, blowing on her wings to dry them off, before placing her in the sunshine. After another 20 minutes of helping her out she found her feet again, and then trusted her wings (broken but still strong) and flew away.

I may or may not have cried. :)
