dogs are win... or not.

it has been scientifically proven that dogs are better pets than cats. in a study by New Scientist, a committee of experts (oh dear) gave dogs a slightly higher score than cats, because dogs can be more useful.

and perhaps cats would agree? even cats find dogs useful -- while some dogs prefer them as cuddlies.

Shyla, the little kiwi dog (now wouldn't that make a cool pet?), has made it her business to look after cute, orphaned kitties, suckling them, cleaning them and keeping them warm. according to her owner, "she gets a bit bossy with dogs, whereas she loves cats."
