As odd as it may sound, there’s something we need to accept: some people don’t really enjoy being around animals. Their relationship with anyone’s pet seems dry or non-existent. So much so, that you can’t imagine them sharing their home with a small, 4-legged friend of their own. But is there really anyone who’s been known to resist a furry animal’s cuteness and beauty?
If you don’t know the answer, The Elite Indian wants to help you make a decision by showing you proof that discredits the idea that some people can resist an animal’s charm. At the end of the article, you’ll find a bonus feature with even more stories!
