It is believed that dogs are man's most loyal friends. There are various stories from the lives of people and dogs, including tragic ones.

As for cats, they are often called selfish and told that they don’t care who they live with, as long as they are fed and scratched behind the ear.

In fact, everything is not as bad as it seems, and all the bad things that are said about cats are far from the truth.
