Nice story and picture.
(Partially) domesticated animals benefit from physical closeness and social touch just like humans do, they have comparable hormonal reactions and brain stimulations during such perceptions. I stopped laughing a long time ago when some pet owners cuddle their animals or, like the girl in the picture, take them to bed with them, regularly or occasionally. It makes sense.
