Why Do We Love Animals So Much?

Occasionally I visit icanhascheezburger to see what they have: It’s always something funny. Today was a tug at my heart. It’s interesting … it’s a photo of a guy saving cats. Look at his face. He’s working so hard holding on to those cats, who most likely would have drowned, starved or otherwise died had he not grabbed them.

I saw another photo like this during the recent floods. A man went to save his dogs. Police didn’t want him returning to his home, but he couldn’t leave them so he and another man returned three times, drudging through the murky flood waters, until all his dogs were safe.

Yeah, why DO we? Good point.

I wonder if, like, cave people had pets. Bet they did.
