Ideally, people grow up in a situation where they receive and learn to give physical affection. It also triggers a pleasure response, to encourage chemical binding through positive reinforcement.

Many people bond closely with their pets, so its only natural we would do the same thing with them that we do with our human family.

Also, we get affection in return. This creates a strong bond on both sides.
