In an interview, pet behavior expert Yuliia Popyk from Petcube told us “some similarities between humans and their pets are that they both need food and water, they both need shelter, and they both need love and attention. As simple as that – love is all we need.”

“But if we dig deeper, then it is important to say that humans and their pets share a special bond,” she said. Popyk explained that “pets provide us with unconditional love and companionship while we provide them with food, shelter, and care.”

When we live with pets, share many physical and behavioral similarities with them. Popyk argues. “For example, we both have fur or hair, we both walk on four legs, and we both make similar vocalizations. We also have similar brain structures and hormones associated with emotion and bonding.”

“A study in the Journal of Research in Personality found that people who scored high in agreeableness and conscientiousness tended to have pets that were also rated as high in those traits. The study’s authors suggest that people may choose pets that are similar to themselves or that they may treat their pets in ways that cause the pets to develop similar personality traits,”

Popyk explained, “interestingly, the study found that dog owners were more likely than cat owners to be outgoing, energetic, and lively.”

“The study also found that people who owned both cats and dogs were more likely to be open-minded and creative than those who owned just one type of pet.”

She added if any of your family members ever required emergency care, you would provide it. “Same with pets. If you want to make sure your pet never gets in trouble and makes you a nervous wreck, consider choosing an Emergency Fund which pays for your vet bills in any life-threatening situation, but vet appointments or not severe cases are not eligible for coverage.”

Most of the time, people choose a dog breed that they think has a similar personality. But many times people choose a dog breed with opposite characteristics as well. “It really depends on the individual,” Popyk argues.

“For example, some people who feel shy or introverted may be attracted to animals that are also shy or introverted. Conversely, people who feel extroverted or outgoing may be attracted to animals that are also extroverted or outgoing.”
