If you could have ANY animal, which one would you chose?

that is an easy one - assuming I could only have ONE animal - it would have to be DOGS.

I have had llamas, geese, Indian runner ducks, cats, and all have delightful, different personalities and I so enjoyed my time with all these animals however my dog once saved my life, and dogs are my constant 24/7 companions, so I would not hesitate in saying dogs.
The other animals, although I had strong bonds with the llamas, they were not with me 24/7 like my dogs are.

Can't go past man's best friend!

Anything from the cat family. Cats, lions, tigers. They are so cute, cuddly and loving.

Dogs (except the toy breed). I love dogs that are good companions and they are good security guards.

I agree about the toy breeds! I actually prefer larger dogs

. . any animal (ignoring logistics, cost etc)
If they were real . . . a dragon!

I've always had dogs throughout my life, but if I could choose another it would be an elephant, but I also love lions, the males I love the mane of hair.

I truly adore all animals, but my dogs have been such amazing therapy and cheerful support that I think I would have to choose a dog above all other animals.

Easy - a Tasmanian Tiger. Love them, such gutsy, adorable little guys & guaranteed to keep interlopers away! LOL

Erm . . they are extinct . . . did you mean Tas Devils? . . . . or are you like me and wishing for the unavailable . .? :-))

As cute as animals are I prefer to have not the responsibility of any animal. Have never been attached to the dogs or cats we have had over the years as I thought it was important that our children grew up with animals. However when they left home the dog & cat went with one of them.

One of these will do.

It's not super imaginative, but I'd like a large dog, like an Irish wolfhound. Always wanted them, but they're too big for me (cost more to keep, wouldn't fit in the car etc. etc.). I'd also like a llama, an alpaca or a pet pig.

My favourite animal, since '68, has been a monkey, but after that it would be an elephant or a house kitten/cat.
