do animals prefer you?

felinesaresuperior

I found out that many times i pat a dog, and its owner comments that it usually doesnt let anyone pat it. feral cats seem to favor me over other people as well. 

i just wonder what others experience is.

    This is true and very sad, but humans also attack when not prevoked, but doesn't mean we all cant be trusted, leaving any animal alone unsupervised with a child is not a great idea, but they can also be a great help to young people if treated correctly.

    A human can be asked why they did it, given therapy or punishment (jail).  But a dog you will never know why or if it will do it again.  Dogs are carnivores and predators by nature, humans are omnivores and although predatory, it's pretty much bred out of us these days.
