Only human beings are unique in all the Creation: Mankind is made in God's image.
Gen 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
It is for this reason that God loves human beings in particular, and for this reason that we are commanded to love our neighbor.
We should remember that every human being is an image of God. And for this reason there is no excuse not to love anyone, even our enemies.
The reason Jesus could love and even die for His enemies, is because each Person was a picture of His Heavenly Father.
