I like all animals, even though I've been bitten by a wide variety of them, so it's almost inevitable that I would vote both here.
Why do I like dogs? Well there was a time when I was homeless and in the middle of the night a dog came barking into the churchyard where some of us were skippering (i.e. sleeping rough). It grabbed the sleeve of a coat of a guy and started tugging at it, hard. The guy had to get up and trying to fight the dog off he ended up swinging it round but the dog didn't give up and tugged and barked until some of us followed it to its owner, who was having a major asthma attack.
This is what I admire most in dogs, their tenacity, loyalty and their compassion.
But I admit that cats have a slight edge. I'm getting close to adopting another cat, now more confident that my circumstances are more stable. I lost two cats in Warsaw and even today I miss them. Cats to me are the ideal animal for survival through evolution, they have claws, they have teeth, they have sharp minds, they are psychic, and they are funny.
