What animal (IYO) makes the best companion?

I think it very much depend on what kind of companion a person is looking for. A dog is usually very devoted to it's owner, while a cat is more independent but still a great pet. A dog needs walking, while most cats walk themself so maybe they are easier to keep (I wouldn't know, because I've never owned a dog)

I have a cat and a rabbit, and I wouldn't be without either one of them although I'm much more attached to my cat. In the end I think all animals are good companions as long as they are treated with love and is used to being handled by humans Smile

Im mostly a dog person but I love any animals being around me, I did have a hamster many years ago, I had hand raised one of the babies that the mom rejected after a couple of days, he used to go almost everywhere with me, Id put him in my pocket and he would just have his head sticking out and hold on to the pocket, never attempted to get out. He was cool. Very Happy

I had a budgie that used to play fetch....among other things like throw peas at the dog, if I called him he would fly to me.

I'm more of a dog person also, i do have a horse that is an awsome pet, but he can't crawl into my lap and cuddle with me (though when he's scared he will try too Rolling Eyes

) I did have a rabbit that was my most loyal non-canine animal. He would come when I called, followed me everywhere i went and promptly attacked anyone that he didn't know.

I agree that it depends on what you are looking for in a companion. My two Basset Hounds are my favorite companions, but I do love my bunny and cockatiel too.
