Once I had a dog. One time I rolled off my bed while I was sleeping, and fell on my dog. I spooked him. He bit me (HARD), and he gave me four very nice holes in my head. Still have the scars. I wanted to crush my dog's head with a reverse jaws of life.
I have a pond in my backyard. Once, my dog fell through the ice of the frozen pond. I had to jump in and save him, and I almost got stuck myself. I wanted to choke the doggy life out of him.
These are the short versions, and I've had other dogs. These, however, are the things I remember most. It's probably why I loved this dog the most. Humans love imperfection. I think pets, and dogs in particular, are the only loving relationship some people have. A robot will never be that, no matter how advanced it is. We know it's not "real". Maybe this will change somewhere down the line. But, We love things like us. Things that have a good, bad, and ugly.
This study is quite flawed in my opinion. All they are seeing are the effects of novelty.

Too bad most of the time it's a stolen car..and most of the time the perp ditches the car as soon as they lose the police.
