This is an invitation to see with the heart and with reason. They are the invitation of the teacher Orlando Fals Borda: to think with the heart and with the feelings, to feel. To see with the heart means to see from the empathy, the altruism, the kindness and the responsibility that human beings have with the other forms of life that inhabit the earth, be they animals or other humans. To combine our most human part and our best scientific efforts to better understand our human societies and their interactions with the animal world; world of which, we cannot forget, we are part: homo sapiens is another animal being.The questions that guide this research are the following: where are the animals in human societies? Where are the animals in sociology? What relevance does it have for sociology in Colombia to study the human animal relationship? We found that it is valid to study the human animal relationship in Colombia and the research potential is promising. We conclude that sociology has the duty to separate itself from anthropocentrism and that it should also engage in dialogues with natural sciences such as biology and ethology. We find that it is necessary to see ourselves and feel ourselves as part of life, to become brothers and sisters of her. It is the life that we humans share without distinctions of any kind and life that we share with every being that lives on this planet suspended in an immense, mysterious and fascinating cosmos. Sociology is called to awaken that animal human consciousness.
