What motivates us to get a
pet? In general, people normally buy an animal so that they can have a
companion, a friend, or a partner, but one that does not come with the
responsibility of a child or the lifelessness of a toy. People who live in
cities often buy pets as an attempt to unify with nature. In the past, animals
were purchased for their working qualities – some of them were good hunters,
shepherds, guards, etc., and these qualities were actively used, which helped
to build trust and partnership between an owner and a pet. Now, despite the
variety in breeds, the working qualities in animals do not carry the same
weight that they once did. For the most part, people tend to buy animals to
fill a void. In my experience, quite often the owners simply want a companion,
which is a perfectly valid reason to purchase a pet. However, problems arise
when there is an incorrect perception of the animal and its breed
characteristics or an ignorance and misunderstanding of the causes of a pet’s
behavior.
