People have different interests. When I think of a pet, the two choices that come to my mind are that of a dog or bird. To me, a rat is repulsive. Beautifully written acrostic.

Andrea, you do point out it could be anything. That's a good thing for someone who is interested in animals.

Dogs and cats are the standards. I have always had dogs and/or cats.
