Is it possible that PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR DOGS TO THE EXTREME DO SO BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE LESS LOVE BY HUMANS?

Question

Just a theory. What do u think?

Answer 1

It's certainly a possibility; it may also have to do with their personality and their inability to relate to other people. Because of this, they poor love and emotional connection into their pets, who will not judge them are are generally "easier" to get along with because you just have to nurture them to receive benefit. With human relationships, you need to provide more than just nurture to establish a close and personal connection.

Answer 2

It's not always true that dogs love their owners unconditionally and are always happy to see them. My parents got a dachshund a few months before I was born and from the time I was first brought home from the hospital, this dog absolutely hated me. I could not walk into a room without having this beast growl at me. If I got too close, it would try to bite me. I lived with this creature for nearly a decade and things never improved. One day, it rolled over and died while waiting to be let out into the back yard. Everybody else in the house was all broken up over the dog but I wasn't. I was more relieved than anything else. At least I no longer had to worry about being growled at and bitten.

Answer 3

I don't think so in every case, but maybe in some circumstances it may be like that. On the other hand there are just people who really love their dogs, as dogs love unconditional. Some people enjoy the bond that they have with their animal (dog) they are a source of comfort, and they love you no matter what kind of a day your having.

Answer 4

Possibly. But I have an awesome home because the dogs are part of our family and we all love each other and our dogs like they are part of the family. I think the love of an animal truly adds to a home. Human loving each other is much more complicated and conditional. It's different love. But it's all good.

Answer 5

Your theory or analysis is 100% right , But it should not be acceptable to prevail .

Unfortunately The West have shettered their family system so badly that created a lot of lonelyness for almost every one ,

We in the East mostly have our family values intact , we respect our elders and specially our old age parents are as a fortune for us , we respect them , we take all care of them , and we never hard argue with them ,
So they feel important and comfertable , and we feel blessed and satisfied ,

Yes if some one wish to have a pet , it should be in the capacity of a pet , not as a replacement to the human relations ,

Answer 6

I'm a dog owner, so from that experience I say...
Typically, love for animals comes because they offer humans unconditional love and they forgive us so easily. They don't care what we look like, but when we're sad they're sad and try to make us feel better. They do their best to protect us and, in general, are great companions.

That's a tall order for most humans to fill for each other, don't you think?

Answer 7

I don't know about less love from humans, I think it's because a dog's love is unconditional. They love you no matter what. They're always happy when you get home. They are there for you when other's sometimes aren't. You can tell them your secrets and know they won't tell anybody else.

Answer 8

In short......yes. I've seen this in many people over time. It's rather sad too, but it's a situation that exists, and it's the best some of these people can do. At least they have their pet.

Answer 9

I dont agree iwth this statement because my sister in law adores her dog and its not because she isn't loved very much, its because she unable to have children, so instead of being able to dote on a child and spend money on a child she dotes on her dog and spoils her dog.

Answer 10

Tough point to prove. It's less about receiving love as giving it. I think your argument only applies to those dog owners who refer to their pets as "kids"
