Jay has been asked to read a book about the bonds that can develop between humans and animals. As he reads, he thinks about his family's dog, and how much his family enjoys taking the dog with them on family outings. He thinks about how sad he would be if something ever happened to his pet. His friend's family has a large snake as a pet. Jay wonders if they have the same bond with the snake. Can they bond with it if the snake sits in an aquarium all day? What is it about a pet that makes someone likely to bond with it? How do people form bonds other non-traditional pets?
