A group of scientists attempted to study the temperament of animals to determine which ones are friendlier toward humans by assigning various scores. The study published in the journal of Frontiers in Veterinary Science excluded dogs, cats, and farm animals as they are already domesticated. Those that rank above 0 are said to be best suited as human companions.
