Top 10 Friendliest Animals
The Top Ten
1 Dog
The domestic dog is a wolf-like canid in the genus Canis, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.
The domestic dog is a wolf-like canid in the genus Canis, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. I don't know much about the dolphins as I don't live in the sea but what I can definitely say is that dogs are one of the best friends of man. - Kiteretsunu
Dogs are misunderstood as friendly. They're actually just as manipulative as cats, only in an affectionate way. Truly friendly animals range from certain species of caterpillar to the big blue whale. After domestication, dogs are still prone to snap and harm others around them. - macaryl95
They are very friendly. Dogs are very social animals and are very friendly if given the right amount of love. I love dogs!
Not only are they friendly, they have evolved beside us, rely on us, love us, are loyal to us, and it has been proved that they prefer us over there own species.
Because they lick you all the time.

2 Dolphin
Dolphins are a widely distributed and diverse group of fully aquatic marine mammals. They are an informal grouping within the order Cetacea, excluding whales and porpoises, so to zoologists the grouping is paraphyletic.

I've seen Dolphins real life but Dolphins in other people perspectives are life savers from Sharks and orcas sometimes
They are the best as they share their every matter with us.
They are cute!

The "House Cat", also known as the Domestic Cat or the Feral Cat, is a small feline, a good hunter, and comes in a variety of colours and fur patterns. Contrary to popular belief, however, they are not truly domesticated. At least the black cat I have is nice and she chats a lot to be honest I like all animals but cats and reptiles are my top but other animals are cool too
I have a cat and while she may act like a brat sometimes, it's all part of her personality. Most of the time she just takes naps on or near me and she is so sweet.
My old cat used to come up to me when I was sad and look at me as if to say,'what's wrong? ' He was so cute...
cats rock

5 Horses
Love to nuzzles people
Even though they are friendly, they can kill or cause serious harm by kicking!
6 Manatee
Manatees are basically living potatoes, because they are so fat and so friendly that they like to be tummy rubbed. Manatees may look kinda intimidating at first sight, but these gentle giants are very curios and will even make close-contact with a human. They also like to do barrel rolls, which is very cute.
Yes I agree because I saw this video on YouTube of a guy swimming with one and he was so friendly
They are the friendliest animals in the world, and in the time of the pirates the were thought to be mermaids
They are so elegant.

Mess with it and we talk later
When we kids my parents took my brother and me to a petting zoo. My brother walked up behind the baby elephant and it turned it's head and my brother stumbled away from it. The little elephant reached its little trunk out and put it around his arm and kept him from falling. To this day I love elephants. My brother on the other hand saw it as an attack and he still
And he has hated them ever since. This was fifty years ago
