What animals make the best/worst pets?

The best pets I’ve had in the past were dogs and cats. Love, loyalty, and challenges which all differed greatly between these two species.

I am slightly biased though as my favorite pet “Sparky” was an Irish Setter dog I had from age 5 to age 19. He was my best friend and was there from young childhood through young adulthood. ❤️❤️❤️
