That sounds like a dog.

Dogs are pack animals, just as humans are, and part of the reason we like them, is because they have and bond via traits we... wait for it... like!

And while dogs have a very specific place in our society, that does not mean human friendships, built upon the same ideals and core fundamentals, are the same.

But you knew that, I presume?

They dont call dogs mans best friend for no reason.
I love my dog almost as much as I love my friends, but I’d feel sorry for someone who isn’t able to see the difference between the kinds of joy those relationships can bring a person.
I agree with Cat Stevens:

  I love my dog as much as I love you
  But you may fade, my dog will always come through

Dogs of course evolved these qualities for survival, and to collaborate with people. A dog must ensure their owner lives them.
