Reflections on animal emotion : insight from Alice Walker's "Am I Blue?"

“I fed apples to them both. The look in blues eyes was one of unabashed “this is itness.” It did not, however, last forever. One day, after a visit to the city, I went out to give Blue some apples. He stood waiting or so I thought, though not beneath the tree. When i shook the tree and jumped back from the shower of apples, he made no move” (Walker 7)
