Are you cheerful? Emotional? Sensitive? Humorless? Independent? Apparently, you do not need a psychiatrist to assess you as your pet can do all the analysis.

Research shows that a pet reflects the owner’s personality; that a pet and their owner has physical resemblance.

For people who own dogs are identified as cheerful, felines are for dependable and emotionally sensitive people, while independent is the characteristic of a reptile owner and for the happier person, a tropical fish is their mighty pet.

The research author Professor Richard Wiseman analyzed 2,000 pet owners and reported observing the variation of the people and their choice of pets.

He also said that a pet’s personality is contagious, “If you live with a neurotic person for 20 years, you’re likely to become neurotic yourself. The same might apply to pet owners and their pets.” The professor from the University of Hertfordshire said.

The striking finding of the study is the relationship of a tropical fish and a happier person. Interestingly, fish owners insist that their pets has personality. It may surprise anyone as fish is regarded as having no personality aside from gliding in a tank of water. Anyway, fish owners are shown to be the most contented among the pet owners.
