I am a dog person. I tell people that I am a fuzzy companion person, but that is a lie. Cats are okay, but I am not terribly torn up about my boyfriend's declaration that I will never be allowed to have one. Dogs are sweet and cuddly and you can boss them around. Try that with a cat.
"Kitty, sit!" It is possible, but extraordinarily difficult to train an animal that has the ability to go feral and only sticks around for the kibble and back scratches. I trained a couple of cats once-upon-a-time and they would only do one of their tricks if there was something tangible in it for them.
I guess it comes down to the same thing everyone tells you; cats are cool and independent while dogs are sociable and dependant. I prefer the dogs.
That all being said, one day I will own a cat. Because I am stubborn. Here's my argument: children who are raised around cats are far less likely to develop severe environmental allergies as adults. However, we all know the reason is that I kind of like cats and I want one, and I tend to get what I want.
