What other animals would I like to have? None!!! We've got too many now, and I constantly pray that no more stray animals find their way to our house, cross the road in front of our car, or hang out at the corner gas station looking all skinny, dirty, and starving. *sigh* And everyone seems to get sick and/or injured at the same time. Vet bills are killing us right now.
But if I could turn back time, to when we only had a few pets, I'd really love to have a rat.
i have a theory. what makes a dog "cute" is essentially what makes a man attractive. you'll see they have very strong orbital ridge, long lashes, and somewhat hooded eyes. a good protruded cheek region and lower scleral show despite of that.
you see this on the "handsome" masculine looking and well proportioned dogs like labs and retrievers. great danes and boxers are masc, but their proportions are out of whack. boxers have short snouts and danes are too lankly.
