Ok say i had a dog and i feed my dog everyday. Would the dog (cat, etc.) love me the most out of my entire family?

it would certainly like you a lot more if you were the only one that fed it, but how the animal loves you depends mostly on if the animal can sense that you love it back by: giving it the most attention (playing with it more that anyone else and hanging out with it more).

Don't believe that one. When I was growing up, I always fed my cat, but she seemed to want to be with my mom the most.
Now that I'm grown up, my husband feeds the dogs and the horse 99% of the time. They all definitely love me more. I'm an animal person and he is not.
They know who to trust and just because you are feeding them, it doesn't mean that you have a deep connection with them.

it depends some dogs love everyone, it's their nature. other dogs are more one person dogs and even though they may act friendly to others they have a favorite. if you spend the most time with him, not just feeding him and give him treats he might favor you over the other people it's around

Probably generally true, they know they need to depend on you for food so they go to you more. But, I'm the only one in the house who takes care of our pets and my male cat is totally hooked on my son, to the point that he meows loudly outside his door when he wants serious cuddling. My female cat always loved my husband more than anyone else but she's starting to not play favorites.

I NOT SURE BUT I HAVE A CAT THAT TENDS TO GO AND CUDDLE WITH THE PERSON THAT FEEDS HIM IN THE MORNING AND DINNER. SO I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE PET.

I think that the dog will favor you because you fed him. Animals only think about survival and you are helping them by giving them food.

yes I believe it's true because animals look at it as this person is caring for me by feeding me
