Why do we need pets?

Question

Apart from acting as companions and letting us learn how to be responsible, how do they benefit humans?

Answer 1

Pets don't judge you.  They don't look at you and comment on an ugly outfit or a stupid remark.  They love you no matter what.

You can tell them secrets and they won't tell anyone else.

You can learn from their lifestyle.  My dog, when he's done getting pet, he just walks away.  He doesn't really care.  He's very mellow.

People just need pets.  End of story.

Answer 2

They benefit humans because some people like knowing that something depends on them for food and love. It also benefits us because some people are so tired of being around people all day and hearing people complain all day that when you get home to your dog or cat, they dont complain they just want to play or cuddle with you.

Animals are great to have.period.

People keep them as pets for companians. You make it seem like its hard to understand. They benefit us by being loyal and always being there for you. Pets listen when you talk and don't interupt and can't stab you in the back. They are the truest friends someone could have. Its as simple as that.
