Children Bond With Dogs –
Researchers tell us that children bond with dogs more than any other pet. The good news is that dogs are known to prefer people to other species – so it makes a good match for kids and dogs!

Studies were done with chimps and dogs to see which species could interpret human hand signals better. Dogs won, hands down! Chimps did not understand or respond to hand signals given by humans. Dogs, on the other hand, not only responded, they understood and reacted positively in almost every case! No wonder kids are more likely to bond with a dog – and thankfully they prefer them to chimps.  Dogs win!  Sorry about all the puns.
