I feel interspecies friendship should be scientifically categorised amongst the other forms of symbiosis like Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism.

Thoughts?

Symbiosis = Mutualism

Trying to redefine Parasitism as a subset of Symbiosis is shameful. That said, cats and humans are Symbiotic.

youre confusing a symbiotic relationship with the wider classification system of symbiosis

And give me the DOI to this article purportedly published in 2012 in a journal that ran from 1977 to 1984.

A 130 year debate isn't closed by a (fake?) article somehow grafted into wikipedia.

Symbiosis has always signified a ++ relationship.

Since time immemorial scientists have debated....Did man save dog or did dog save man? 1,000 years from now, the debate will still be raging.

Relationships between species is categorically similar to master/slave dialectic. Those interactions which end with the death of either are of no note. Polar bears even have their own puppers.

>Did man save dog or did dog save man?
I didn't know that was an insue. It was known for a long time that dogs had adapted to humans, and just a few years ago it was claimed that humans have also adapted to dogs, though it was unclear if that was all ethnicities.

Dogs are comfy and I miss my dog.
