What is love anyway?

A lot of companion animals come from a pack/group structure and as such when put into a situation where they are dealing with people instead of animals as groupmates, they show the same behaviors towards people *mostly* as they do with members of their own species. Dogs are a prime example. Look at how wolves act around each other and then study what dogs *even though they are far removed from wolves they show the same behaviors, can't breed out instinct * do around thier favorite people. Animals CAN love, I do believe. When a member of a pack dies, the rest of the pack mourns. Even Rats have exibited this behavior. Cats arent so much a group critter, but don't they act like it around people as well as other cats lol?
