In my experience the explanation is, that people like dogs.

  and dogs like people. People have emotional needs that they might get from other people or might get from animals. I think the post though is talking about a syndrome that happens in India. I have seen many people get bit by a dog in the US and never heard anybody say they thought they were pregnant.

    Work around animals for a bit and you lean that a sweet critter that becomes pregnant or a new mother are often the nastiest things imaginable. Only to go back again after babies have moved on.

      yep. there was that time a woman walking her dog ran into a couple of giraffes protecting a baby and the male did a one-hit kill. when i was a kid I never was able to hang out with a peer group of other kids but I did run with a pack of dogs and I realized that was why I was much better with dogs than my wife despite the fact that she is a professional animal handler (teaches people to ride horses.) There was a time when I wasn't sure what it was I lived for and realized I get limitless joy from experiences with animals be it my pets or seeing birds, deer, battling with the beavers that try to plug our culvert pipe or otherwise.
