Anyone who believes that a dog has no competitors in love and devotion to a person will be interested to know that there are at least three more options.
It is noteworthy that all these pets are kept in apartments. And they demonstrate their feelings and emotions simply at the limit of their capabilities.
Parrot
Of all the birds, the parrot gets used to people faster, but only if there are no other parrots in the house. They not only love people, but are jealous and demand maximum attention, and communication becomes a habit for them.
The younger the age at which a parrot is caught, the more attached it becomes to its owner. Some individuals live up to 70 years.
Pig
We are not talking about meat breeds that live on pig farms, but about so-called "mini-pigs". This is no longer just fashionable. As it turns out, in terms of affection, a pig is in no way inferior to a dog. "Piggy" will also demand communication and affection, show intelligence, follow commands and sincerely trust its owner.
Rat
Domestic rats are clean, affectionate, loyal and very smart. It is believed that the rat is the smartest animal on the planet.
At the same time, rats love people and can spend a lot of time in the hands of their owner, as if it were a cat.
