One thing we have in our behavior is the fact that we love animals, I mean we do not fear them, at least not the domestic ones. It`s one of the first things we learn in life, animals are good and something to admire. When I say we do not fear them I mean we take them as 'stable', we go by the belief that if we don`t do anything wrong the animals won`t lash out at us. In fact what makes animals magical is the mix of the fear factor(they have the ability to harm you) and cuteness (they chose not to harm you most of the time) they posses at the same time.
