I mean it’s partly your personality. He doesn’t care about your viewpoints or values (probably) but if you were angry and screaming and scaring him all the time he’d probably like you less! 21 Jim Kiick 1946 2020 Miami Dolphins 1968 1974 Thank You For The Memories Signature Shirt. Because it often results in mutual benefit. But those individual acts of affection are not necessarily made with mutual benefit in mind. Chemical reactions are observed in animals and people when they feel love. That doesn’t mean it’s any less real or that it’s just an evolutionary need. We also need to not be sad and love can often make you sad. I’ve always had a problem with how when an animal exhibits signs of love or any other emotion, some scientists and laypersons quickly and arrogantly explain it away as learned behavior.

“Oh, dogs have just been bred to like us” or “those animals just show affection because to each other because being in a group offers them protection.” 21 Jim Kiick 1946 2020 Miami Dolphins 1968 1974. Thank You For The Memories Signature Shirt. A mystical thing called love. Many animals exhibit the same emotions we do and it’s arrogant to think it’s inferior to our emotions. (Heck, dogs are far more loyal than people and it’s certainly not for food or another material gain – like it often is with people. A dog just wants to be with you more than anything. You become homeless and that dog will stay by your side. You get old and ugly, that dog doesn’t care – he’ll still gleefully kiss your wrinkly face every day.) If anything, we’ve made them more reliant on us and harder to live amongst their own. At the very least we owe them our respect and compassion.

It doesn’t matter why they love you to begin with if seeing your face and cuddling you still floods them with endorphins and serotonin. Idk pack animals have affection for their fellows without it being an owner=food situation. Sure it’s mutually beneficial to form a pack, but they work together. It kind of breaks my heart a little bit. 21 Jim Kiick 1946 2020 Miami Dolphins 1968 1974 Thank You For The Memories Signature Shirt. Sure, we were just a source of free food and entertainment for them, but all at once we just stopped interacting with them, and they’d have no clue as to why. And it’s not like we can just say, “Sorry, dolphins, it’s not you, it’s us. We’re a little sick right now, but we will be back soon, okay? Hang in their little buddies.”
