National Pet Day, on April 11, is a day for pet owners to pamper and celebrate their pets. But when observing the life of the everyday furry (or not so furry) friend, every pet owner has wondered a time or two. What is it like to be a pet? What pet would I be? Would you be a loyal dog, a reserved cat, an observant reptile…or maybe something more mythical?

Results:
Mostly A’s: Dog
You are an active, outgoing person. Loyal to a fault, you are the glue of your friend group and the one who is called upon for help. You are down for anything and love good vibes.
Mostly B’s: Cat
Calm, cool and collected, you are independent to a fault. You most likely spend your time relaxing in the quiet. But others shouldn’t let that chill side fool them; around the right people, you are loving and playful.
Mostly C’s: Turtle
Slow and steady wins the race for you! You are a thoughtful person who takes life at your own pace. You are most likely a bit more introverted than the average person, but that introversion blooms into creativity and a mind beyond your years
Mostly D’s: Guinea Pig
You are a menace to the state of Ohio. A chaotic bundle of energy. No one ever quite knows what you are doing or capable of. Your life is never boring for sure. But while you are a force of energy, in ways you are fragile and sometimes feel small. To be honest, therapy sounds like a great option.
Mostly E's: Lizard
One word can describe you perfectly: unbothered. You simply do not (and can not) care about what anyone is saying to you at any given moment. With that low-key energy brings observation. When you aren’t the star of the show, you notice things.
Mostly F’s: Mythical Creature
You are a strong, demanding presence whenever you walk in a room. You claim the attention with just one look. You are loud, rare and, at times, dramatic. But regardless, you know a lot of people, and they either love or fear you. Think like Regina George, pre-bus incident (and maybe a tad nicer).
