I grew up with dogs Aspins and purebreds eating, sitting and sleeping side by side with us.
I have a dog and a cat, and they are best friends.
I treat my cat like she's my therapist or something, because I talk to her all the time, and as she's gotten older, she talks back. It's pretty funny.
Howard and I have found that our Bulldog Bianca, and adopted cats Walter, Apple and Leon Bear, enrich our lives so much.
I have a yellow labrador, Tuffy, and a little rescue dog, Bella, who is the boss.
I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.
Our Siamese cat, Ollie, is like a dog in a cat's body because she is really loyal and very chatty, following me around the house all day.
It is no compliment to be the stupidly idolised master of a dog whose instinct it is to idolise, but it is a very distinct tribute to be chosen as the friend and confidant of a philosophic cat who is wholly his own master and could easily choose another companion if he found such an one more agreeable and interesting.
No other animal bonds to a human being the way a dog does. And I suspect there is no other animal to which human beings can bond the way we can bond to a dog.
