Quote To PARAPHRASE (reword)

The bond between a dog and its owner is remarkably similar to that between a
parent and child. A secure baby behaves in a characteristic way in strange
situations: it is courageous and happy to explore while its mother is around,
becomes distressed when she leaves, will settle with a stranger in time, but has
eyes only for mum when she returns.
Dogs put through the strange situation test respond in the same way. That is
probably no surprise to dog people, who often cite unconditional love as their
pets more endearing quality. Are cats so very different?
Adam Miklosi from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest, Hungary, whose
group did the work with dogs, tried this experiment with cats but they were
having none of it. The lab setting was very upsetting and stressful for them,
presumably because cats tend not to leave their territory. Nevertheless,
Miklosi suspects that cats bond with their owners in much the same way that
dogs do if only he could persuade them to take the test.
Even the most besotted owner will admit that cats like their independence.
Evolution is to blame. By nature, cats are loners. Dogs, meanwhile, are
descended from pack animals and have an instinct to affiliate, and
domestication has changed the focus of this instinct. Give a 4-month-old
puppy the choice and it will choose a human companion over a dog. It seems
they just cant help but love us.
