Hedonetropism is an innate tendency of doing something again and again what gives pleasure, in response to pleasant stimulants.
"Those of us who deem ourselves followers of St Francis of Assisi, eagerly notice that many dog owners somehow resemble their pets and many dogs resemble their owners. The most striking common feature of the human - dog interspecies resemblance seems to be a very strong tendency to follow stimulants recognized as pleasure inducing, a propensity which may be named 'hedonetropism'. Human beings are pleasure oriented, just like dogs. But unlike the dog, the human person is capable to ascend to one of three higher branches of the Happiness Tree, which were named by Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, SJ: felix - good life, beatitudo - serving others, and sublime beatitudo - God's Love. Our closest and oldest companions - dogs will never climb up the Happiness Tree, and by their nature are limited to occupy its lowest branch, named laetus - bodily pleasure. Unfortunately, some people resemble dogs with their hedonetropic behaviour."- dr Halat
