Question

17. If someone can't have a pet, how can they interact with animals?​

Answer 1

Are you going to get a pet? Have you been given the go-ahead by your apartment complex, your landlord, your partner, and your own long-burning need to have something fluffy and personable to clean up after? The temptation to rush out and get a pedigree something-or-other may be pretty overwhelming. I get this; I had pedigree dogs growing up, and there’s something faintly remarkable about being in the same house as a dog with more names than you. Plus, the animals in pet shops look absolutely adorable when you pass by (read: fail entirely to pass by, because you’re too busy playing with them through the glass). But you should also consider looking at a local shelter — because shelter animals may be just what you need.
