I prefer dogs too (with some minor exceptions).

They make me happy.

    To be honest, people that say they prefer dogs over humans confuse me a bit. Like, i get the bond you can develop with some animals, thats under no discussion, but idk preferring an animal over a person with thousands of feelings, that is capable of complex thoughts and emotions is not something i particulary like. Im not saying this judging you in particular, but i feel like some people humanise pets too much. I think there’s a distinct line between us and them and i’ve heard people saying that if they had to choose between saving their pets life or another human life they’d choose their own pet and frankly it disturbs me.

      The simple thoughts and emotions of a pet is why I enjoy being with them. They don’t lie, what you see is what you get. I don’t need to be anxious with my word choice, I don’t need to bring up “interesting” subjects. They are comfortable with my silence. It is just relaxing and joyful without the downside.

      That said,I would choose saving a human life over my own pet’s.
