Although I love cats as well, I prefer dogs. I would choose the dog. I would choose to be a male dog (or even a female dog), living with just one older man who loved me very much and would take me out for, say, 40-60 minute-long walks every day. I would be a very loyal companion and comfort to him. I may even be a therapy dog either for him, or for other people, or both.
What species (out of these two) would you choose to be?
Best of luck.
