Are you any ones favorite person?

I just seen this video on you tube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t-5PLQgcSA&feature...

and it got me thinking. A lot of us don't have a person or don't know of one who thinks of us as their favorite person. It seems we are in too much of a hurry or too afraid to know any one. But to our dogs and cats we are their favorite person. Maybe thats why having a pet is important. Agree or disagree?

Update:

I meant to say - Do you agree that pet ownership is in some ways more important now than it has been in the past?

    I think we live in a culture where we are increasingly more isolated. Yes. We have computers and cell phones, so we can communicate, but we live fast paced lives. Everything is rushed. Kids play video games instead of riding bikes. Our animals don't get caught up in any of that. They help to bring us back to who we are as people--not as who we are as --in a frenzy-- we run around trying to play out all of the roles we play--spouse, child, student, employee, sibling, friend etc. I think our relationship with our animals is vital to many of us. My dogs ground me in a way that nothing else in my life has the power to do.

    I agree! My dog and cat both love me and both come to me whenever they want anything. Anything meaning ANYTHING!! My dog comes and rubs his face on my hand if he gets food stuck in his cheek!! lol My cat comes to me to be petted, picked up to look out the window, food, escape from people she doesn't like!! I have three shadows all of the time! Kind of funny to think I always have an audience while I take my bath!! lol
