Pet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A pet is an animal that is kept (mostly by humans) for companionship and enjoyment, as opposed to livestock, which are kept for economic reasons. |
 | | While in theory one could keep any animal as a pet, in practice a small number of species of mammals, especially dogs and cats, and other animals such as birds have dominated the pet scene for a very long time. |
 | | A pet can be acquired from a pet store, an animal shelter, a breeder, and sometimes from people who have too many due to births. |
