The British are absolutely sure that if a person likes pets he is a very good guy. People living in this country adore animals — any of them. However, they never force their beloved dogs to “serve” them. Pets become their buddies. Here, you will find more interesting news about the tastes and habits of Great Britain, and some of them might seem to you weird. However, this article is all about pets.
Pet lovers
Pets are vital to them. With animals, the British feel greatly, they understand their “language”. However, they do not understand own children (at least just caress them). The best places, the most comfortable and warm corners, the best foodstuff — they try to give it to their beloved animals. In case, a cat or a dog, a rat or a hamster can damage something, this creature will be never punished. If a kid does the same thing, he is in trouble. So when a dog bites a person, then the injured person is always blamed! It is difficult for a person who does not love pets to live in Great Britain. When a huge dog (in a house of your friends) starts to jump on you making your dirty, everybody will be smiling. In Great Britain, people think that dogs can ever “read” other people. When a pet dislikes any guest, the house will begin to treat him with caution. The cruelty to animals causes horror and disgust among the British.
