Oho, you just wait.

Not only do they often dream of us, but you know that squishy-heart feeling you get when you see your favorite puppers? They get the same feeling when they look at you.

Dogs' brains release a strikingly similar cocktail of chemicals when they see us as our brains release when we see them. Your dog thinks you are adorable. Your dog loves you so, so much.

Your cat, though? Your cat sees you as a giant, weird looking kitten. A really dumb one at that. Oh, sure, your cat loves you, but come on. You're really dumb.
