Have to disagree. Animals have emotions & bond to humans as much as we do to them. It isn’t all about food, either. I’ve seen dozens of videos on YouTube & other places showing animals racing to their favorite human - geese, cows, burros, etc. Animals you would NOT expect to get excited about a particular person.
Most farm animals don’t get that personal interaction, but when they do, they are every bit as loving as dogs & cats. A friend has chickens & they come up to her & try to fly into her arms. They WANT some personal attention. Humans should not be so dismissive of their intelligence or emotional capacity.
