Dogs are a companion species. It's about time - you have an animal for about 15, 16 years, a generation. That time holds so much. You might have had five or six relationships with human beings but one dog.
But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that's just love and affection- then you're going to go after animals who need you.
Psychologists maintain that the dizzying feeling of intense romantic love lasts only about 18 months to - at best - three years.
I've seen people that don't treat their animals well and yet their animals are still just as loving to them even though they're not treated that well. It's very hard to find that kind of loyalty and love and affection in human beings.
