It's interesting that this happens with saints...

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

While Sudhamani (Amma) was living outdoors, dogs, cats, cows, goats, snakes, squirrels, pigeons, parrots and eagles sought her company and became her intmate friends. This phase in her sadhana demonstrates the power of love, untainted by attraction and aversion, to bring harmony among animals who are otherwise natural enemies. At a time when her own relations had abandoned her and were vehemently opposed to her spiritual life these animals stood by her and renderd her loyal service.
Their behavior cllearly revealed that they seemed to understand Sudhamani (amma) far better then human beings.
