Our hearts have a special place reserved for our furry, feathered, or scaly companions. Sometimes, our bond with our pets goes beyond what we experience with humans. Pets seem to have a seventh sense; they just know what we need sometimes before we know ourselves. Humans are challenging, annoying, and sometimes just plain mean. There are plenty of reasons why people would choose their pets over humans, and here are just a few. 

Unconditional Love
