Why would someone choose to have a dog over another pet (cat, bird, lizard)? I'm conducting research for fun.

I love dogs. They rock. I also like other animals/pets as well. I'm curious about people's motivations for having specific kinds of pets. Why would someone opt to have a dog rather than another kind of animal, such as a cat, bird, lizard, snake, etc., - in your opinion?

Thoughtful analysis only please. Thank you!

I either own, or have owned: dogs, cats, ball pythons, hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, horses, turtles, water dragons, finches, cockatiels, love birds, etc.

What I like most about dogs is that they are very open showing their affection. I've had cats that gave kisses, but never as much as my dogs. You can take them on walks, bring them on car rides, I take mine out canoeing sometimes. They are fun to train, to cuddle with, to hike with. Out of all the pets I've had, a dog is the best for an everyday companion. I'd have to say my second favorite is my horse. He always greats me, has a funny personality, and gives me a lot of joy...but its kind of hard to cuddle with a 1200lb animal.

After perusing the internet, I have found a few nice forums for pet lovers and decided to share it with you. http://www.lovemypets.com/Forum/forumPage.aspx

It is my goal to exceed all the other membership numbers that these other forums have (which is a mighty big goal).  However, I think I will just take it one day at a time and have a fun time with it.

Usually people think of pet owners as having a dog, cat, or even a fish.  But I am going to open this forum up for all pet owners!  Maybe you have a snake (which isn't a furry friend) or you might have a pet goat!!!  Whatever type of pet you have, this forum is for you!

I'm writing this for pet lovers every where , which like myself, there are many out there who are very close to their pets. They will always be there for you, good companions, and rarely complain. However they do in fact need our help through their journey in life.

Over the years I've traveled the world, visiting many countries, where ever my work would take me, primarily throughout Asia. I've learned and experienced many cultures, and now live in Northern Thailand , surrounded by jungle, but not too remote.

The other day, I was looking across the jungle view, thinking back on all the pets I've experienced, and who have come and gone with time. I really have enjoyed to the fullest many Dogs, Cats, Birds through the years.

One thing really struck me though, being a pet lover. I realized a disturbing pattern of most of my pets which, well enlightened me to share my experiences, and hopefully offer some good common sense, preventive steps to protect your pets, as they can and do follow similar heath problems as people.

Preventive, is certainly the right word to use towards your pets life and well being.

I'm going to share an experience with my pets, and these aren't what you might think, shots, vaccines, give a pet a bath topics, but unique true experience, where many of my pets could have lived a much longer and healthier life, if I would have known these problems before hand.

It started with my favorite dog, a golden Lab-Retriever name Kruger, yes named after the Australian gold coin, do to his short hair and very gold color. He traveled almost everywhere with me, within the states.

I gave him extremely rich canned food, mixed with rich dry food. You see those cans all the time, the picture with rich meat and gravy look on the label.

So the lesson is simple preventive understanding on nutritional guidelines for your pets. If I had picked up a book, and educated myself, he may have lived a much longer life.

Think about this simple preventive, common sense approach as a pet lover, and this certainly applies to more than just dogs.
