There are some "trivial" differences between humans and animals; for example, only humans have invented digital watches. However, what used to be considered unique about humans; for example toolmaking or local culture, has now be found in chimpanzees and other primates - in recent years, humans don't seem quite so far from chimpanzees and there has been some suggestion that chimps should be reclassified as hominids. What seems unique in the way the human mind works is the ability to abstract; for example, "Ann told Bill that Charlie likes Diana". Humans can follow the three levels of abstraction, no animal has been shown to have that kind of ability. Usually, humans keep pets as company - often as psuedo children.
