Cats, Dogs, and Human Beings

“If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.”
Mark Twain

Which animal species do you think has the highest regard for humans? Which one do you think thinks the least of humans? Don't be afraid to tell us why!

Cat's chase rats,
they don't wear boots or hats
and they consider human beings
as staff.

Dogs are loyal
whether their human beings
are peasant or royal.

Which animal has more regard for humans? I've never ask an animal this question. I know from experience that cats and dogs regard people differently. However, I can't say which one has a higher regard for human beings then the other. I'm sure that wild animals regard people different from domestic animals, but I still can't say which has a higher regard for human beings. Attributing human emotions to animals is anthropomorphic. Animals do experience emotions, but do they experience them in the same way as human beings. I don't think so, which is why I don't know which animal has the most regard for humans.
