Interesting non-running post. I have found dogs and cats to be incredibly accurate judges of human character. If they don't like you there is a good reason. And people who don't like either is because their lousy attitude is exposed in the presence of the little critter. Pets big and small have been a joyful part of my whole life; better than many people. And their care is by far less demanding than fellow humans.
I like dogs and cats and they usually like me. That being said, there are way too many dogs and cats because there aren't enough responsible owners. Cats are more independent but dogs are like permanent toddlers and need that level of attention. Without that attention you end up with restless, ill-behaved, and potentially dangerous animals.
