“Pets were not accepted at these parties but they were popular in their own right,” he said. “They were basically people who were socializing with other people and their relationships, whether it was friends or family members or their acquaintances, that had to be preserved if they were not to be eliminated.” The party atmosphere encouraged “group bonding by socializing on a larger level and sharing experiences together than that found in a typical working or living situation,” he explained. For example, in 1919, his college friends went shopping for a car or rented a house to have a petting party.
