If you answered mostly A's:
You're a dog person! The idea of opening your front door and having a dog sprint to greet you is your ideal entrance experience. You love affection and a dog will surely give you all the love you deserve. Dogs need bathroom breaks a few times throughout the day, but for the amount of love you receive, that seems like nothing. You love being around people and so do dogs, making for great socialization opportunities.
If you answered mostly B's:
You're a cat person! The idea of doing your own thing and having a cat pop up on occasion to greet you with love is your ideal home experience. You love affection but don't need someone being all over you, all the time. You may not have the time to drop in for bathroom breaks a few times a day, but with litter boxes, both the cat and you have nothing to worry about. You like being around people but need a break from socialization after some time, meaning once you return home your cat will be waiting for you.
If you answered half A's and half B's:
You're a dog and cat person! The amount of affection doesn't matter, as long as your pet is willing to give you some. If your schedule doesn't tend to your pet's preferences, you'll always make personal adjustments or find someone to help. You love being around people but after some time, it can exhaust you, leading to your inevitable return home where your pet(s) will be gladly waiting for you. Whether you decide on a dog, a cat or both, you'll be sure to find the happiness, love, and affection that you deserve.
