DO OUR PETS ACT LIKE US, OR DO WE ACT LIKE THEM?
It has been said, that you can see similarities between the Pets and their Owners.. But who is leading the personality/traits, Us or Them?
The phenomenon was first verified in 2004 when a study led by psychologist Michael Roy found that strangers were able to match up purebreds with their owners about 64 percent of the time.
My Ferret ( I have had 2 more in the past) doesn't act like me, but acts like my Dog almost exactly. My Dog raised my ferrett for 2 years before she passed on, and let me tell you, the Ferret really got on her nerves sometimes. hahaha.. But the odd thing is, my ferret never ever bites, and that is a common trait of ferrets to bite. My ferret adapted my dogs behavior, and really, the ferret acts so much like my dog.
So, yeah, behavior/traits do pass down but what do you think?
What people do you know, that have pets, that act like them?
please share?
