Animal Attraction?

Everyone know how intense pet owners love for their pets can be.  But
can animals really love us back? Scientists have long been dubious, prefering
to think of the ages-old symbiosis between humans and canines as a case
of mutual adaptation.

Now scientists are begining to rethink the area of animal emotion.  Tracing
the change back to Jane Goodalls work with chimps, and covering themes
like emotional complexity, psychotherapy and yoga for dogs, this semi-humorous
article from Newsweek via MSNBC is a good read for animal lovers and
haters alike.
