In short, do our pets really "love" us, as we understand it? In a word, the
answer is yes, according to clinical evidence. Food does play a large role
in feelings of affection between pet and owner. But dog does not live by
biscuit alone – and neither does a cat's affection depend solely on treats.
The mere presence and/or touch of a preferred person has been shown to
reduce the heart rate of these animals – a sign of bonding. (The same is
true with horses.)
