Teq. brings up a good point. However, I think we justify it by saying, that we consider bugs pests. We do not love them, we do not feed them and water them daily. We do not take them to the vet to get shots. We do not pet them and let them sleep in our beds. We do these things with dogs and cats. Therefore, humans have created a much stronger bond with cats and dogs. Bugs are still bugs. They crawl on your food, they leave germs as they crawl over your stuff and leave their little eggs wherever they want to, even in loaves of bread. Dogs and cats do not do this. We also have some control over dogs and cats. We can train them not to jump on our kitchen counters. We train them to sit, rollover, get down, stay. We teach them to not beg for food or jump on the table while we are eating. Bugs will not listen when you tell them, "No! Get down." They keep crawling wherever they want to, they land on you and bite you to suck your blood, and they do not want you to pet them and love on them. Cats and dogs do. So, on that aspect, we can sympathize, empathize, and all in all relate better with cute fuzzy little puppies.
