Today is National Love Your Pet Day! Humans have a longstanding tendency to keep other animals as pets, something that makes us different from most of the animal kingdom. As far back as 12,000 years ago, dogs and cats were buried with their humans – clearly, the deep connection between pets and their parents is one that has persisted for generations on generations. About sixty percent of Americans are current pet owners which led to the 2004 adoption of February 20th as National Pet Day in the U.S.A. So hug your pet close today, and don’t forget to give that pooch a smooch and that cat a scratch!
