I was recently interviewed by Megan Scott of the Associated Press.  The AP partnered in a recent poll on people's view toward pets and their role in the family.  Many of us know this intrinsically, but about half of those polled believe animals are a full and essential part of the family.  Below is a link to the article from my former hometown newspaper in Minneapolis.  You will find some great statistics in this article from the STARTRIBUNE.
