Top 10 Friendliest Animals
The Top Ten

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. If they could talk they would always say "hi friend"
While some cats can be friendly, most dogs are more willing to trust strangers. Dogs are friendly in the extremely annoying way. They will run up to strangers, sniff at their crotches, lick them, jump on them, and sometimes even hump them. There is a point where friendliness is no longer a good thing.
They are friendly down to the bone
Dogs a very kind they show love and compassion even after being abused - Toptenanimallovers

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.

They are brave, loyal, and especially friendly for wild animals.
The protect us from sharks!
Nope, I love dolphins but they're very dangerous, they kill for no reason
I've seen Dolphins real life but Dolphins in other people perspectives are life savers from Sharks and orcas sometimes

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...

They are so friendly! And cute but a but intimidating in real life.
Yes I agree because I saw this video on YouTube of a guy swimming with one and he was so friendly
