Do Bipolar people have Bipolar pets?

It would make sense, if you think about it
Answers:
I don’t think it’s been studied but I have heard people who work with animal behavior say that it’s possible for the dog to get symptoms from the owner’s behavior. Not developing the disease however. Like that guy, Caesar Millan the so-called “Dog Whisperer” says that dogs do have a tendency to “pick up on the energy” of their owner. He was helping a woman who was very disorganized, chaotic, frenzied person that was always in some kind of crisis with her friends, family, job, etc. Millan didn’t start on the dog until the woman got her act calmer. Before the dog will tended to be very hyper and high strung but as the owner get his/her act together, was less reactionary to the problems of her life and was able to stop, breathe and reflect more the dog started to calm down more also. Then Millan started to retrain the dog. If this stuff is true and it seems to be as it makes sense then a person who is depressed one hour and manic the next (classic bipolar symptoms) would have an affect on his/her dog. Would the dog develop the disease/disorder full blown? I doubt it as nothing has ever suggested this possibility. But would the dog develop similar symptoms. I think yes. I think the dog would get some of the symptoms of bipolar (like depression for example)
no, bi polar is something you're born with
well atleast i was
I don't think animals can get Bipolar disorder.
That would be one screwed up household!
All pets a rapid cycle bi polar. Think about it. Cats sit around ALL day ignoring you, hating life. Then BANG 2 AM they go Kitty Insane. (Told you I d use it.) Get some Depakote, spike thier cat nip and try to get on the same cycle. If you can't beat em.
No. My dog keeps me sane.
No. Pets are smarter than that.
Yes, when you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder you get a free pet that is also bipolar. Only problem is that its a mail order rebate and it takes the animal 6-8 weeks to get there.
Have you ever met a bipolar person? They are just like you if not smarter. So this a very stupid question, so I hope if there is bipolar dogs you get bit by one! STUPID
No it really doesn't make sense mathematically. Has this been bugging you?

The odds of a chemically unbalanced person locating a chemically unbalanced animal.well.let's just say you'd be better odds to buy a lotto ticket.
