Whenever pets show up in our lives—whether in person, in videos, or even as memes—it’s hard not to smile. They might not replace the feeling of having them right next to us, but they still give us those happy little bursts of laughter and “aww” moments.
Offline or online, pets are the kind of companions that make being human feel a little bit easier.

I'm sure God created animals for our mental wellbeing, if you open your mind and heart to them.
But why exactly are we so attached to them? What is it about animals that makes us fall so deeply in love?
According to Jason N. Linder, Psy.D., LMFT, writing for Psychology Today, one of the biggest reasons is that “pets attend potently to our brain’s social circuitry.”
From birth, we’re wired to need attachments, and pets can fill that role when human connection feels out of reach. In fact, research during the pandemic showed that pet owners reported less depression and more positivity compared to those without animals at home.

This makes sense, Linder explains, because our ability to feel secure and balanced often depends on the strength of our bonds with others.
Pets excel here: they have a way of making us feel seen and valued without needing words. And that simple recognition can do wonders for our self-esteem.

Load More Replies... Another reason we cherish them so much is their purity. As Linder points out, pets don’t have ulterior motives: “They won’t try to get something from you (besides love, attention, play, time outside, or food) or gaslight you.”
“They won’t ever abandon you to go to their friend’s party instead of spending time with you,” he adds. “They won’t pursue an affair; you’re everything to them, and they’re fiercely, unwaveringly loyal, as long as you treat them decently (and often even if you don’t: but please treat them well anyway, they deserve it!).
That unwavering loyalty and unconditional affection can be life-changing, especially for people healing from trauma or loneliness. Pets remind us that connection doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be as simple as a purr or a paw resting on your lap.

See? If I have to use public transport...my kind of fellow passengers!
Research continues to confirm what pet owners have always felt.
According to the BBC, a 2022 study at Queen’s University Belfast found that dogs could detect human stress simply by smelling sweat and breath samples, correctly identifying the stressed ones nearly 94% of the time.
It shows how incredibly tuned in they are to us, able to pick up on pressure and tension in ways we might not even realize ourselves.
This kind of sensitivity makes animals uniquely intuitive companions. They tune into emotions in a way that often feels deeper than human relationships.

this looks like a Norman Rockwell painting (yes, I know; showing my age!)
Researchers even have a term for studying the human-animal bond: anthrozoology.
And one other idea that could explain why our love for pets runs so deep is social recognition, the human ability to identify someone or something as important to us.
In this case, of course, it applies to pets. For us, they’re pretty much our family members.

Have you had a dog or cat? They run, stop and sleep. Even with their eyes open.
Load More Replies...And while data and studies are fascinating, anyone who has ever been greeted by an overexcited dog at the door, or had a cat curl up on their chest when they needed comfort, doesn’t need research to prove how special this bond really is.
That everyday companionship is enough to show the connection we share with pets is unlike any other.

My chihuahua has heating pads in several spots. He loves being warm & cozy. I'm his heating pad at bedtime 🌙
So whether you’re reading the science or just looking at a few silly memes, the truth is the same: pets aren’t just part of our lives.
They make our days immeasurably better. They bring comfort when things feel heavy, laughter when we least expect it, and a sense of warmth that’s hard to find anywhere else.
And really, that’s why we keep turning to them, because everything feels brighter with them around.

I'd love to know the reason as to why dog farts stink so much more than even the mankiest human ones do. I'd previously put it down to food quality but my mum's dog is a spoilt cutie that only gets people-grade food and still stinks like something's dying when he farts. Dog-face-6...48f9a6.jpg 
Chris Jones 2 months ago (edited)
My dogs rarely fart and the farts rarely smell. I'm not doing anything special, it's just the food they eat works well for them and their digestive systems. They each have different diets. As Google has to say: "Dog farts smell bad due to hydrogen sulfide, a gas produced by gut bacteria breaking down undigested food, especially those high in sulfur, fibre, or poorly digestible proteins. Diet, food intolerances, allergies, and digestive issues like bacterial overgrowth, parasites, or inflammation can contribute to excessive or smelly gas." So, sorry to say but if anyone has a very farty dog, they most likely need a diet change. One of my dogs has the same colour-way... They're both so cute (but I AM biased!). Folly-on-d...e9ace0.jpg

Our fart rocket is the cat. It’s gotten better since I switched her to a sensitive stomach food, but my fiancé still will occasionally sneak her treats, and you can practically see the green clouds float out from her. It’s enough to make our German Shepherd leave the room. I’ve suggested sending her to Ukraine because I believe she could be enough to end the war with her farts 🤢 But my fiancé insists that she would violate the Geneva Convention…

It’s a funny thing. Dogs don’t really have buttcheeks like humans, so nothing to flutter and vibrate to make that particular noise. BUT, sometimes when they’re laying down and their legs are closed, their farts do become audible. The other day, my dog Skye (almost 10 month old—-and 73lb—-GSD female) wasn’t feeling 100%, so while I worked (from home), she laid under my desk for most of my work day. When she first flopped down and laid on her side, out came three unmistakable little pooty farts, one right after the other. Poot. Poot. Poot. Then she fell fast asleep and snored like a buzzsaw for a couple hours.

Fairly sure the noise is caused by the an*al sphincter as air is expelled. Which, of course, dogs do have.
