Proprietários de cães foram os mais divertidos de se estar com. Proprietários de gatos, os proprietários mais confiáveis e emocionalmente sensíveis e, os de répteis,  os mais independentes. Eu também descobri que os donos de animais tendem a dizer que eles têm a mesma personalidade de seu animal de estimação.
