Nine times out of ten the dog will, in comparison to the owner, be friendlier, smarter, and have better social skills.

No, no, I'm kidding. Mostly. I just like to be very nice to doggies I meet.

Just now I have a cat parked on my lap who will not get down. He has not taken to the new cooler winter house temperatures. So, he's decided to spend all his time sitting on the warmest available object, which is usually me. He gets all ticked off if I try to stand up. And he's trying to lick my hand as I'm typing this.
