At lunch, you get into a big discussion with your friend, Possum, about animals. Your friend insists that pets have always been peripheral to human society. “They have never meant much,” Possum declares. Do you agree? If so, why? Or do you think that pets have played an important and multifaceted role in human history and that they were rich in social, cultural, and economic significance? Please use historical evidence to support your argument. (Your answer must mention Harriet Ritvo’s article, “Pride and Pedigree: The Evolution of Victorian Dog Fancy.”)
