Have you ever seen a chimpanzee
taking a dog for a walk or an elephant keeping a tortoise for company? Sounds
pretty bizarre, doesn’t it? Or expand this
bizarreness and imagine being obsessively photographed by a guinea pig!

These things can never happen and
are things we, humans are guilty of affectionately doing for the love of our
pets!

While many people prefer to have
dogs or cats as pets, there are many other choices such as fish, small birds,
turtles, rabbits, etc. They differ according to their maintenance levels; from
the lowest maintenance pets to low maintenance pets, medium maintenance pets
and high maintenance pets. It all depends on what type of animal you choose to
keep as your pet.

Pets are more than just
companions and this practice of having a domesticated animal dates far back to
ancient times! From all kinds of creatures: whether canines, furry, feline,
fishy, or equine pets have played an integral role in the society that we live
in.

Most importantly, pets have
psychologically changed us as humans; the need to come back home to a pet is
increasingly becoming popular, but why- what do these pets offer us?

Surely, they cannot provide for
us or even offer us anything ‘measurable’ in return. Yet, in our time-pressed
and busy lives, these ‘comfort animals’ offer us the love that no human can
even offer. They welcome you home enthusiastically, more than happy with the little
presents and/or outings that you offer them, literally worship you and give you
this lifelong sense of loyalty and protection.

Pets are great to have,
especially when your living alone and they can also be a lot of fun when you
live with a family. Of course, you have to bear in mind how the animal would
affect each member in the family (i.e. whether someone is allergic to the
animal or any other allergy).

They are great stress relievers
and can help you to take your mind off of certain ‘unhappy’ and ‘unpleasant’
thoughts and situations that have happened. They also impart a sense of
independence in you; because you are technically in charge of their life;
taking care of their every need.

You have to ensure that you feed
them, take them for their routine visits to the vet, take care of them in case
they fall ill, etc. They depend on us! So, in a way not only do we have to be
responsible for ourselves but ensure that our pet is healthy and well taken care
of as well!

An animal is an animal, until you
take it home, give it a name and create a bond with it. Our lives are such a
race against the clock; where we are already overwhelmed with the world – poor
sleep habits, overdose of caffeine, unfilled expectations, work demands,
financial burdens and spouse or family life. Chronic stress is quite the norm! Here
is where pets provide us with happiness and they can change are moods.

What more could we ask for, when
we get a pet? They fill the little bit of emptiness in our lives.
