Dog or Cat, CaC or Dog
The April 2010 issue of AARP Bulletin reported the results of a survey regarding pet ownership. I was not surprised to see dogs in the lead at 45% for ages 50-64 beating out cats at 27%. he percentages for both drop a bit in the 65 age group but dogs are still the winner at 27% v. 19%. his got me to wondering what the results would be if I conducted my own poll pitting dog against cat in the world of books. I really like Feathers for Lunch (Cat) by Lois Ehlert and it is an all-time favorite of my daughter Stacy. But then Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathmann (Dog) is neat too. And then I adored the recent novel The Art of Racing in the Rain (Dog) by Garth Stein. Cats seem better at solving mysteries as evidenced by the Midnight Louie series by Carole Nelson Douglas, Koko and Yum Yum of the Lillian Jackson Braun mysteries, and Sneaky Pie Brown brought to the page by Rita Mae Brown. The more I think about this, the more I see it's hard to choose. |
