The Top 10 Most Popular Pets of 2010

1. Dog - Yup, big ones, small ones, some as big as your house. Everyone and their dog seems to have a dog these days.
2. Cat - The tame tiger, comes in a close number two. 
3. Fish - With less than half the mess and maintenance of a dog or a cat, it is easy to see why fish hold a strong third place finish.
4. Bird - We all know someone with one of those squawking birds in the living room. Music to some people's ears I suppose.
5. Hamster - Virtually every child in North America will have a pet hamster at some point in their lives. The question is, how long did it live?
6. Turtle - These graceful and pleasant creatures will win the race some day. Slow and Steady!
7. Lizard - In North America people keep these as pets. In many tropical places, they come with the house.
8. Guinea Pig - The hamster upgrade!
9. Gerbil - The Guinea Pig downgrade
10. Ferret - I actually have nothing else to say but... Why?
