I've often wondered why people care more about animals than people. I mean, I'm sure as a whole, this isn't true. But doesn't it seem like people get more emotional whenever animals are involved? I feel like I've cried more watching stuff like Old Yeller, Milo & Otis, and Homeward Bound than My Sister's Keeper or The Notebook.
I know a man who did not cry at his own father's funeral or when he was forced to kick his son out of the house, but did when he put his dog down.
Is it because animals love you no matter what?
