Why do people care so much if a dog dies, but it doesn't really matter if its like a hamster??

Favorite Answer

I guess because the dog is more involved with the whole family, but the hamster usually stays in the cage or a hamster ball thing.
A dog goes on walks with the whole family, plays around, and gets alot more attention because its probaly into everything.
So if something happened to the families dog, the whole family notices. If something happens to the hamster that stays in someones room, the person who owns the hamster is sad, but the rest of the family just feels bad for the person that owned it, because they werent really attached to the hamster.
I dont know if thats right, thats just what i think.
