Why do we love pet

Today is all about pets. Pets of all kind, and accor­ding to the APPA, dogs are ahead. Just for fun, let’s look a bit clo­ser. In their last sur­vey, the APPA gives 68% of US hou­se­hold that would own a pet. Of this 68 %, half would have a dog, a bit less a cat, and other spe­cies would come after. Well, not sur­pri­sing that the majo­ri­ty of pic­tures are from these two spe­cies. Well, let’s see these num­bers on the moti­va­tio­nal point of view. Dogs here have a lead. As dogs are consi­de­red as good guar­dians, they win the secu­ri­ty need layer. Sor­ry for cats, but we rare­ly hear the expres­sion wat­ch­cat. Dogs can be impres­sive and give their owner an income of safe­ty impres­sion. Then come the other main layer, the famous belon­ging layer. Pets are usual­ly a full fami­ly mem­ber. Due to their life span, they can teach a lot to a fami­ly about birth, res­pon­si­bi­li­ties, and death. It repre­sents a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to ful­fill someone’s need for a child, a friend or even a life part­ner. Ani­mal-assis­ted the­ra­py is a good example of how a pet can contri­bute to a human well-being.
