When I saw the Pet Poll question I was paralyzed with indecision: Kobie is a mutt, but Eli is a purebred, so which button do I click? Then the more I agonized, the more I realized that my inability to choose just one answer was a good thing. Like you all have said, how could someone value one category over the other? Any animal with a great personality that enriches your life is the best animal you could want!
