If you identify yourself as either a “dog person” or “cat person,” chances are, there are multiple reasons that you feel this way. It goes beyond which type of companion you currently live with (or maybe it’s both!); it tends to be viewed as a reflection of – well – you!
In the Business Insider video below, Dr. John Bradshaw, Anthrozoologist (“which is basically a biologist who studies interactions between humans and animals,” he says in the clip) and author, explains some of the key traits that separate “dog people” from “cat people.”

Then, of course, there are all the different types of breeds to consider…
