We have Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, which in olden times were called comfort spaniels. They were bred to be companions, to follow their owners around, lounge on the sofa beside them, and sleep in their beds to provide warmth and flea control. (The theory was that fleas would prefer the dogs to the people and people would get bitten less frequently.) Reputable breeders will ask about the owner to be’s employment and family life. These dogs do not like to be alone and are happiest around people. Good breeders will steer new owners to a breed best suited for them.
We breed a similar type of humans, too. They’re called the welfare crowd. They follow the mail carrier around and begging government for a bigger check. They lounge on sofas, have fleas and sleep in beds most of the day where they keep each other warm and breed more welfare recipients. Taxpayers get bit by them often.
