I happen to be a cat person, but that's still true. Dogs in particular are so much happier after they get a new home, because they are so totally tuned into us.

Some years ago I did volunteer work at a shelter in another city. I worked weekends as a volunteer receptionist, and the dog walkers always had to walk by my desk to get the dogs in and out. I was flabbergasted to see that every single dog wanted to greet every single person they crossed paths with. Made me really appreciate what dogs are really like, and how much they adore humans.
