No, not more than people. Just differently than people. I can unconditional love and be loved by a pet.

@Sammyiam That's great news! Now luv him up. :)

I think the pets in our life do just as much to help us as any other type of therapy, what do you think ?

I agree.

I love my pets more than other people all the time.

Something I just read:

"In the past two decades it has become widely recognized that when adults or children are too skittish or shut down to derive comfort from human beings, relationships with other mammals can help." --Bessel Van Der Kolk ("The Body Keeps the Score")

I like people, but I'm very skittish and usually somewhat shutdown. This doesn't matter with my pets. They aren't somehow turned off by my detachedness or moods. They always want to be close to me no matter what. They keep me real sometimes.

There is no judgement from animals. Nobody to tell us we are doing a crappy job at 'attaching' or 'communicating'. Just love. Love is so healing.

I don't make good eye contact, but my cat just stares at me all day. We can both be awkward together.

I tend to do more rescuing, passing them to care of other people, these days. It's scary enough to be bonded to people, thanks I'll pass about pets. (I'm not going into all those rage problems I had about people threatening my last pet. Realized I care too damned much and not about the people in question, it's a whole part of feelings I haven't yet processed even remotely, and I'm simply not having anyone near me that can be such a weapon against me until I get that mess sorted inside.)
