Do you have any pets? I love dogs!

I do, a cat! Over the last few decades in Japan, we've started to adopt pets as more than utilitarian and more into our family system.

I bet! Dogs were actually the first species to be domesticated, before even cats!

Wow, dogs have been bred into so many different breeds as well.
