Cats vs Dogs

Angela Xiao (9) | STAFF REPORTER

While our world is continuously changing and growing, there is still one question yet to be answered. Regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity, this long history of debate has divided up many. Of course, it is none other than the long rivalry between cats and dogs, with the question remaining of which is better.

Although both cats and dogs have their own advantages and disadvantages, dogs have always been just a bit more intriguing than cats. Cats may be easier to take care of and are much less demanding, but the relationship between a dog and a human is like no other. In fact, there are countless heartwarming stories about dogs and their owners. To begin, the story of Hachiko is one remembered by many. His loyalty can be seen clearly as he endlessly waited at the station for his deceased owner’s return. For over nine years, Hachiko would wait at the same spot each time. Bobbie, a young Collie-English Shepherd mix, is also known for his love for his owners. He had run off after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs and returned home 6 months later after travelling over 4000 kilometers.

These are just some of the many stories we see about the wonderful bond between a dog and its owner. These stories never cease to amaze the audience, and new stories continue to appear to this day. Therefore, without a doubt, dogs are more preferable than cats.
