Do you think of yourself as a pet parent or pet owner? More owned by a pet!
What’s the most ridiculous thing you have bought or done for your pet? Photoshopped his head into a Disney Plus email advertising "Loki - God of Mischief"
What’s your first pet or animal-related memory? I had an uncle who had two dogs, a cross breed and a black German Shepherd. This led to us getting a dog.

What would be your dream pet? I'd need a bigger house but probably a Bernese Mountain Dog or Newfoundland
If you could be any animal what would you be? A dog seems a pretty good life
