Only a dog person would come up with this event:
Dan Cohen went to a local "dog happy hour" and was "floored by the way people were connecting through their pets.""They probably would not otherwise be talking were it not for this warm and caring intermediary - which is the dog," he says.
...for the simple reason that cats would scratch out the eyes of everyone at the happy hour. Especially some cats I know. Cats just aren't interested in being "warm and caring intermediaries".
