Can You Love A Pet as Much As A Human?


My Everything

Recommended Posts

i disagree. Say you have a dog. You are literally that dog's life.

 

It's not an opinion. Your dog can feel love, but not to the same extent that you can. Its brain literally just isn't wired that way.

Wrong. Science has proven that animals are capable of love, whether it be for another animal or for a human.

 

 

There is one thing we do know though: Your dog or cat doesn’t regard you merely as a food dispenser. Pets as well as zoo animals form strong attachments to their caregivers. As attachment is a form of love, animals are indeed capable of loving their caregivers.

 

Dogs have been reported to love their masters so deeply that they mourn their death for many years. Such was the case of Greyfriars Bobby, a Skye terrier in Edinburgh, Scotland. He served as Constable John Gray’s companion, until Gray’s death in 1858. After Gray’s funeral, Bobby was spotted sitting on top of his master’s grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard. The loyal police hound is reported to have spent every night at his master’s grave until his death fourteen years later.

If you actually read my post you'd know that I literally said that. Literally. I said that.

It has also been proven that they can't love as deeply as humans. Which I also said. Because it's a fact. Get over it. Trying to apply human emotions to animals is a disservice to those animals and to yourself.

You have obviously not read the studies on Elephants and Love Birds.. I'm sorry, but as a 2nd year Animal Studies student, I can safely say you're wrong~ I'm going to let you live in ignorance though, because I can't be bothered schooling someone today when I have more important shit to do.
