Our Pets - Especially Dogs & Cats -Are More Than Companions?
"Most people love animals and treat their pets like valued members of the family. Pets provide companionship, bring joy to our lives, give us affection..." Calmerry - Therapy Specialists
Specifically About Dogs, "They understand one law, one 
code of honor: If you’re hurt, I will defend you, loyally and absolutely — to the death if need be, because I’m a dog and that’s what we’re designed to do — to love, to protect, to defend, to support, and to honor our human counterpart — even if they’re flawed in the way they love us back”."
The Medium/Moments - "The Psychology of Why We Love Dogs"
Here are some stats about Americans and Their Dogs & Cats
According to Woneropolis,"In the United States, we love our pets! Recent studies suggest that almost 75 million families in
the U.S. have at least one pet. That means over 60% of us have pets. The most popular pets are dogs a Studies show that there are more families with dogs than cats, but the total number of pet cats outnumbers dogs. In fact, pets outnumber children by a ratio of four to one in the U.S.?"
While the inherent joy of owning a dog or cat usually outweighs the cost, they are expensive!
Here are some cost estimates by Credit.com - "The cost of a pet in the first year alone is just over $1,000 on average. In a recent survey Credit.com conducted asking how much people would expect a dog or cat to cost in the first year, only one in five answered correctly. The majority of respondents underestimated the cost, expecting the expenses to fall between $500 and $1,000. And as much as 17% believe that the initial expenses of bringing home a new furry friend cost less than $500."
Having owned a number of dogs myself, I can attest to the fact that just the normal #petrelatedexpenses add up. When there is a health issue the cost of vets can add up quickly. Most people provide health care with the same dedication as with their children!

Good Advice About #PetLove - Petmate Tells Us
"Give them attention"!
"All pets want to know they are loved. Sometimes our lives can get hectic and we don’t give them the attention they desire. While treats and toys can be a bonus, nothing beats spending time with you. Find out what makes your pets feel the most loved. For dogs, it could be a nice belly rub, while a cat may want some extra time in your lap while you scratch under their chin."
In Conclusion - A Memorable Quote About Pets -
“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It
is amazing how much love and laughter
they bring into our lives and even how
much closer we become with each other because of them.” John Grogan, An American Author
