'And not a word was spoken' is a personal and introspective journey of an 'animal lover'. The author gives meaning and substance to this surprisingly common but seldom explained term.The book is based around the premise that animal lovers share five traits:1. A heightened sense of compassion for all creatures and a belief that animals feel emotions such as pain, sadness, grief and fear, just as we do.2. The ability to appreciate the unique characters and personalities of non-human animals and a desire to build meaningful relationships with them.3. A desire to live a real life, not one fabricated by society, one where animals play an integral role.4. A belief that the human race is not the most important species on this planet, just a mere thread in the wonderful tapestry of life.5. The ability to appreciate the 'magic' of animals and have experienced a powerful connection with a non human animal or animals.It also emphasizes the need for animal lovers to see themselves as role models, guardians and ambassadors and to promote compassion and understanding whenever and wherever they have the opportunity. Above all, to be a voice for those who have no voice.
