The Bond between you and your Pet

Owning a pet gives a very great deal of pleasure to a large number of people in this country. The most recent estimates suggest that almost every other household has a pet of some sort. There are approximately 7 million pet dogs, 6 million cats and 1.5 million budgerigars in the UK. In addition, there is considerable specialist ownership of less common species such as hamsters, gerbils, parrots, fish and exotic pets.
