How pets feel and saying goodbye, sentence 0

Pets cannot tell us in words that they are ill, hurt or sad, so we watch for changes: a pet that hides much more than usual, snaps when it used to be friendly, or a bird sitting fluffed up and sleepy in the day may be ill.

Who acts: Pets, we, pet, it, bird · What happens: not tell, be, watch, hide, snap, use · To what, where: us, words, more · Speech: someone speaks here
