Today’s ponderous point from Heath - Do pets have friends? Do they build relationships like people do? Are they better than humans?

I consider my pets to be my children, and I tend to treat them as such. They offer unlimited and unconditional love; they have strong and rich emotions (did you know that the emotional center of cats is very similar to that of humans?); they are never dishonest; they require very little to be insanely happy.

Is it wrong that I prefer them to humans? I think if given the choice, I would take a pet over a human friend. Is that wrong? I think not. I have never found a human that offers unlimited and unconditional love, has strong and rich emotions, is never dishonest, and requires little to be insanely happy.

Some people have some of those things, some people have many, a lot have very few. I don’t think this makes me stuck up at all, but if given the choice, I know who I would want to spend the day with.

So what do you think…do pets have friends? Are they better than people?
