He barks but he’s bilingual.

At what point does an life form become a pet? Can a particularly mobile carnivorous plant be a pet? If you refuse to take down a spider web and shoo flies toward it, does the spider become a pet? If you release ladybugs in your apartment to cull aphids, are they pets? If you briefly tend a goat to sacrifice it to Morlak, lord of dreams, to steal everything but your landlord’s nightmares, is the goat a pet?

I’ll admit, you had me in the first half

Well, it’s equal parts joke and legitimate question. I find social lines, like friend and acquaintance, similarly blurred. “Pet” is so vague.

Is this a sheepdog?

My experience so far is that most places say they don't accept them but if you ask and you have a small dog, they'll prefer taking a chance instead of leaving the place empty... But if you've got a big dog and you don't own your own place then... You made some bad choices...
