Hundreds of millions of animals are kept by humans as pets. They run the gamut from large mammals such as dogs, cats, and horses to fish, reptiles, and arachnids such as tarantulas. Most pet owners are fiercely loyal to their animals and tend to think of them as being the best type of pet one could have. Generally, though, when people think of pets, they are most likely to first think of dogs, cats, and horses. It is about these three types of animals that this book is written. Whether you are a “dog person,” a “cat person,” a “horse person,” or just a person who has a passing interest in one or more of these animals, I hope you will find what I have to say both informative and fun to read!
