Dogs Proven To Be More Suitable Than Cats
Have you ever wondered which type of pet would be most suitable for your home: a dog or a cat? A dog is the perfect solution because they are like loving security blankets wrapped in fur. They are always interactive, showing their unique personalities and how they want to care for their owner and be cared for. There are several different breeds, colors, and sizes as well.
Dogs are a more suitable pet than cats due to their drive to learn new tricks, willingness to help people, and loving affection.
According to News Scientist, Interviewer Roxanne Khamsi states how, “dogs do not simply copy what they see, but interpret it”. They adapt their own individual characteristics based upon their owner's actions. After a while of practice, dogs can easily learn new tricks as simple as sit or lay down to as difficult as opening a door, putting away their own toys, or even going to fetch the newspaper. It is very rare to see a cat even obey a command as come or sit.
Many dogs treated with proper care normally want to help their owner in return. Roxanne Khamsi also says how, “ a dog acts as a man's best friend when they possess human-like abilities to understand the goals and intentions of others”. They show through their actions how they truly feel about their owners. Dogs usually only act up if they are treated badly. Dogs can help guide people and they save lives. They can be working dogs. Some jobs that dogs can help with are: sniffing drugs for police officers, finding humans in fires or burnt down places, guiding blind people around, herding, and way more. Cats are not known to work or help people at all.
Dr. House from Hoffman Estates Animal Hospital explained how “owning a dog is not truly owning a dog” it is “it is spending time with and caring for your best friend”. He also states how, “the amount of unconditional love they show is incredible”. It is unbelievable how simple it is to care for a dog and receive more than double the amount of care and love in return. Any person would be able to tell when a dog is happy because they will wag their tail, stand by a person so he or she could pet them, or even lick your hand. Cats might sit next to you to show affection and that is about it.
Even though cats are fun to play with, cute, small, and able to be potty trained, dogs can do more. Everything a cat can do, a dog can do better. Over 46.3 million people own a dog in their household where only 38.9 million people own a cat in their household according to the AmericanPetProductsAssociation.org.
Since dogs can learn new and efficient tricks, help people, and shoe affection in a unique way, they are proven to be a more suitable pet than a cat. They can relate to and interact with humans in a completely indescribable way. The next time you think about getting a pet, get a dog. They are truly a man's best friend. Dogs are sure to sure you love in return from proper care and treatment. No home is truly complete without a dog.
