I’ve grouped a lot of similar things. I started not to group together monkeys/chimps because they are not the same animal at all. One is a monkey, the other is an ape. And you can’t train chimps for quadriplegics like they do with capuchin monkeys. But then I said what the hell - there were only two “chimp” answers anyway.

A pit bull terrier is different than a bull terrier?

I still think my octopus would make the best disabled helper…if it lived on land.
Was I right or was I right?
Last place! Last place! Woohoo!
Now if only I were trying for that spot.
And I do want to ask, who the devil would be insane enough to want a monkey for a helper animal? Bloody damned primates, messy, stinky, obnoxious critters. One is enough in my apartment. No more.

Ah well, from first in the last feud to 24th in this one. Such is life.
I didn’t think “Fluffy”, or any cat name, would have an overwhelming following. I chose Lucky because we’ve had two cats named that in our family, and I’ve seen it suggested in "name the cat " threads here on the Dope.
I could totally kick myself for not naming Meerkat Manor in the tv show choice. I watch Animal Cops sometimes, when I can stand it, but I usually end up getting pissed off at people that haven’t treated their animals right.
39th place. This is why I don’t have pets. I’d clearly make a lousy owner.
