I hate to be so typical, but my favorite animal would just have to be a dog. As a child, I only had cats to play with – and lots of them. I would always consider myself a cat person, but then I got a dog and I fell in love. You can train them, play with them, bathe them, and take them for walks, among other things. Perhaps it’s the idea that you can never really feel lonely as long as you have a dog. With a cat, it’s almost the opposite – being home alone with a cat is almost putting an emphasis on the loneliness. Simply put, I love the comfort a dog can give you.
