"But why, out of all of the animals that humans have domesticated, have dogs become so close to their owners? "

Can't view videos at work, but the answer is pretty darned simple: Both are hierarchical pack animals. A dog is perfectly happy with a human as pack leader. The most a cat, horse, or cow will do is to accept a human as another member of the same species, albeit a strange looking one.

Yup and the more you show them you're the pack leader, the more they respect AND love you.

This little guy is going to be very happy.

Dogs share your life. Cats share space.
