My five year old nephew said “I want a Lassie” when I asked what he wanted for his upcoming birthday. When I asked him why he wanted a dog, he happily answered “coz it’s cute and friendly”. I’m glad he asked for a dog rather than an iphone (haha). Anyhow, do you ever wonder why people love pets?

As we see nowadays, households have a pet or two which is treated as a family member. These pets have their own room with their own pet beds and some even sleep with their owners. Research suggests that man’s love of pets started way beyond civilization. There are already evidences showing that man domesticated animals not for food but for companionship. So why people love pets is just plain human nature.
