    Owning and caring for pets has been around for a long time, but I can't seem to understand it. Show me the function, and I get it. Without function, it's just an animal that puts its anus on my pillow/couch/carpet.

Like so many things, it started functionally and then (rather quickly) become traditional and cultural.
