Dogs or cats?

The dogs or cats debate has been a lively topic since humans first welcomed these furry companions into their lives. As someone who grew up in an Army family, my heart firmly belongs to dogs. My childhood is dotted with cherished memories of the loyal dogs who shared our journey, each one leaving a pawprint on my life. In fact, I shared one of those heartwarming stories in a previous post on this blogcheck it out if you’re a dog lover!

What draws me to dogs is their unwavering devotion and selflessness. They pour their hearts into loving us, their often-ungrateful humans, without expecting anything in return. A dog’s loyalty is a gifta wagging tail at the door, a joyful leap when you return home, or a quiet companion by your side during life’s ups and downs.

Cats, on the other hand, seem to have us all figured out. They carry an air of knowing we humans don’t always deserve their affection, and they treat us with a certain regal disdain. It’s almost as if we’re the pets in their world. Cats come and go as they please, embodying an independent spirit that’s more human-like than any other pet. While I admire their confidence, it’s the dog’s wholehearted devotion that wins me over every time.

That said, whether you’re Team Dog or Team Cat, there’s one thing I believe passionately: pets need space to thrive. Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing a dog chained to a balcony on the tenth floor, gazing longingly at the world below. Both dogs and cats deserve room to roam, explore, and live their best lives.
