Animals also possess the ability to understand human feelings. Elaborate this statement keeping in view the role of Jabra in the story.

Animals also possess the ability to understand human feelings. In the story, Haiku has a pet dog named Jabra. He goes to guard his harvest in the field with his dog Jabra at the January night. It is biting cold. Haiku picks up Jabra and pats his head to get him fall asleep in his lap. Jabra thought himself to be in heaven. Suddenly Jabra picks up the noise of some animals grazing the harvest. Haiku’s special intimacy had produced a new alertness in Jabra. He sprang up and ran out of the shelter and began to bark at the nilgais which had entered the field. Haiku did not go to the field due to biting cold. Seeing the whole field flattened Jabra lay stretched out underneath the shelter as though he were dead. This incident shows that animals do have the ability to understand human feelings.
