I agree 100% with that sentiment!! I definitely have experienced unconditional love from my pets.
As far as unconditonal love among humans... I don't think our species is capable of it as most relationships among humans are simply transactional in nature.
For example in romantic relationships... we invest love, care and time in another person in hopes that they will love us, care for us, have sex with us, be our friend, etc, etc.
In these transactional relationships... when we don't feel that we are getting a good return on our investment.... in other words.. the person is not reciprocating love, sex, friendship, caring, time, etc... at a level that is to our satisfaction.. we become unhappy with the relationship.
Anywho... IMHO... the only human relationships that are not transactional are probably parent/child and possibly relationships among siblings. These relationships are about the closest humans get to unconditional love/caring but even these have their limits.
Dogs and cats do not have limits to their love... lol. They just love ya no matter what.
