Logic Puzzle: "Who Owns the Zebra"

[AmberLee]

You'll be surprised to hear that it's not Ramanth's aunt ...

As posted earlier, this puzzle's came from a magazine in the early sixies. (You'll probably notice several old brand names. I thought about updating it, but left it alone except for making one pet a pot bellied pig. Long story...) It's the first logic puzzle I ever saw and I fell in love with the format. Hope you enjoy it, too.

If you need help, or want confirmation of your answer, please Personal Message me. Thanks!
