This very original your contest, I imagine that the comments that answer the 2 questions that are at the end will be taken into account .... so here are my 2 answers.
In my country there are places where pets are given for adoption, they collect animals that are abandoned on the street and there are adoption days. There are people who love their pets a lot to the point that pets are part of the family group, in the same way there are areas where they have the pet as an animal of the house. In my case I am one of those who love my pet as a member of the family. Since I was little I have loved animals and I have had many pets (dogs, rabbits, parakeets, lovebirds, turtles and fish), but I have never had a cat.
And I .... Definitely I am a dog person ... I think that dogs show their love towards people better, they are fun, faithful, loving, playful, and above all very intelligent.
God bless you!
