Is the affection people show their pets and indication of their relationship with humans?

Are the two related? If someone has no pets, does this mean they're less inclined to be affectionate to humans than someone who has pets and gives them a lot of love?




Society of Abandoned Animals

'The Society for Abandoned Animals is a local animal charity who care for and rehome unwanted cats, dogs and rabbits. Over a five year period we have successfully rehomed 262 Dogs, 1186 cats, and 290 rabbits Many of our animals have not had the best start in life and so to ensure they are rehomed with caring families who can give them the love and support they deserve, it is our policy to carry out home checks on all potential new homes prior to adoption. In this way we hope to provide the most suitable homes for our animals and give them the best possible start with their new families. The SAA gained charity status in 1967 and is funded with the support of individual donors, corporate partnerships and by our own fundraising activities. The society is staffed by a small team of paid employees and is supported by a great number of committed volunteers, without whom we could not operate. If you would like to get involved either by making a donation becoming a member or volunteer please follow the links opposite. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated by all of us here at the SAA and of course by all of the animals in our care!'

I Told Bob ( the general manager) that I was planning to make a pamphlet advertising the rabbits. I chose to do the rabbits because I volunteer looking after them over holidays and they struggle to get rehomed. He said that he was really pleased I was trying to help and supported my project greatly.
I spent time taking photos and drawing the rabbits from life to get the research for the illustrations to go into the pamphlet. He also helped with any questions I had about the process of rehoming abandoned animals.
