I’ve gone on record saying that people who prefer the company of animals to humans are cowards. They are afraid of hanging around their peers and prefer the company of those that they completely control.

...... better throw out that "record".
You’re wrong.
Dogs are just better company than people, their love is pure and innocent, and they are honest.
I have three German Shepherds, and they completely control me. It is not the other way around.
I certainly prefer dogs to your company!
Nah...I think people like animals who don’t need to control THEM.
People suck (particularly those who don't like animals).
BTW, if you think people who have animals "control" those animals, you know nothing about this subject.
One of the most attractive feature of animals (next to their being loving) is their spontaneity. Humans are pale substitutes for animals.
In fact, people who don't have animals are cowards...and dullards. I wouldn't even have a friend who doesn't love animals. That is a minimum requirement.
Interesting. Carried to an extreme that case might be made.
I was never a dog person (they were OK - never owned one) until our adult daughter got a very special one and also began fostering and socializing rescues. I really enjoyed them, for a couple it was love.
That said, as a normal person (I think I am anyway LOL) there are times when I prefer dogs to humans for company. And vice versa. The same could be said for my preference between children and adults. I don't want to spend all of my time with kids, but I do miss having them around. Sometimes they are a lot more fun than adults. I think enjoying the variety of contact between all is important.
Back to your postulation. It may be true in some cases, but IMO what plays a bigger role for those people is the unconditional love the dog gives. A sad number of people don't feel loved, or ever having been loved. Or the "love" they have experienced has been conditional in some sense, which is not fulfilling. Also, some people are simply ill equipped to deal with the cliffs and valleys of complex human relationships. They can only deal with simple.
I have to get back to work, but that's my perspective.
Tell you what, no dog ever voted for a Democrat. So they’ve got that going for them over people.
I’ve gone on record saying that people who prefer the company of animals to humans are cowards. They are afraid of hanging around their peers and prefer the company of those that they completely control.
