Some Chinese habits are strange enough to Americans but conversely, some American habits are equally incomprehensible to Chinese people.
Americans are famous worldwide for loving their pets more than they love people. Some have explained that this is because there are more dogs than people in the United States.

The costs of raising pets like dogs -- including providing for their daily well-being and even medical care -- may be high, but Americans are just willing to spend that money.
