Who are you to be delusional in thinking that whatever animal you possess as a pet is actually loyal to you. I dare you to let your pets roam free outside with no leash or supervision and see if that pet of yours remains YOURS. I highly attest to the fact that if you were to do such a thing, your beloved pet would roam FREE...and simply be what it was created to be. An animal. But alas, you will keep that animal in bondage. In the jail cell that is YOUR HOME. And give it " love " and witness it simply survive like any animal would. It will eat, sleep, and interact with the " situation " that is YOU and give you the false impression of KNOWING IT, while all the while the reality is that the animal may actually be smarter and wiser than YOU because you...are not even being who YOU ARE. The animal is probably being more HONEST with itself versus you being honest with yourself. Because the truth goes back to the irrevocable fact that these " companions " will be true to who they are if they are allowed to. However, they are not because people like you....put them in cages...and put leashes around their necks when you take them on " walks. " Because even YOU KNOW, that the animal will be more honest than you...and LEAVE YOU for the sake of it's very nature.
