Ugly dogs and other less attractive pets may not be the prettiest, but they still touch our hearts. What’s the reason behind this?
Every June in California, judges look at a group of dogs with funny faces, broken teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers(触须) to pick the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. These dogs often win the love of animal lovers around the world. Funny-looking pets are also very popu- lar in online videos and pictures.
So why do we like these strange-looking animals so much?
A famous scientist, Konrad Lorenz, found that people are drawn to baby-like features(特征)—such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies. This is a natural ability that makes adults take care of their babies, helping the survival of the human race. Lorenz named these features “baby schema(图式)” in 1943.
Animals like blobfish(水滴鱼) and bulldogs(斗牛犬) all have these baby-like features. That’s why people want to care for and protect them.
There are other reasons for our love of “ugly-cute” animals. Some of them, like the blobfish live in very hard environments. Scientists study these animals. They hope to find ways to treat se- rious human illnesses such as cancer and heart disease from their body functions.
However, this also brings some worries. Vets(兽医) advise people not to choose flat-faced dogs, because they often have serious health problems. For example, French bulldogs are born with short noses. They usually have trouble breathing, and they often get skin or eye problems.
So, although big eyes and wrinkly(皱巴巴的) faces make us happy, we should think twice before we fall in love with these “ugly-cute” pets.
