Women and Dogs!!

I have never quite understood this in women (of course i know no one has never quite understood them at all)
but this one is particularly intriguing
What is it about dogs that make women go ooooooo choo chwweet everytime they see a stray one
nothing else elicits this kind of a eruption of oohs and aahs. It never ceases to amaze me
Picture this :
Its raining, i am the at signal and at some distance i am able to watch this group of college going girls.
As at all signals folks are swarmed by those less fortunate who make a living by , for want of a better word, begging
They approach this bunch of college women and they without as much as a look turn away and start casting shifty eyes  One of the swarm was carrying a baby covered in a ragged blanket.
The swarm thrust the baby at them but they recoiled .At about the same time a little doggy all wet in rain comes towards them and off they go "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaah soo cuuuuteeee" one of them was even very worried that it is getting wet and whether they should do something about it.
Never mind there was living, breathing individual pleading for money presumably to buy food.
