Are animals luckier than humans....hmmm...my critters are waited on hand and foot. I buy them high quality food and treats. They all have lots of toys. I bathe and groom the dogs and groom the cat. I bake for the parrots. I clean up after them. I spend a good part of the day doing the in/out thing with the back door. I make sure they get veterinary care. Ain't nobody doing all that for me.
I'm your huckleberry.
