Cats / Science / International Meet Britain's Ideal Pet, Max

Posted by Anthony Hecht on Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 3:59 PM

Scientists in the UK surveyed 2000 British pet owners about what they liked best about their animal friends. The compiled results revealed the perfect British pet - 49% dog, 35% cat, 9% horse, and 7% rabbit. It has "high energy levels, loves daily walks and sleeps for an average of nine hours, 27 minutes a day."

Here he is—they named him Max:

I conducted my own survey of some Americans (okay one), via IM, and here's the perfect American pet according to my research - 80% pit bull, 10% rabbit-faced, and with a shark for a tail.

It looks like the shark is humping the dog/rabbit.

how can anyone hate on that adorable rabbit-faced pitbull with a shark for a tail? oh he's a widdle cuddle muffin, yes he is, oh yes.

and Britain, just keep your stupid wimpy socialist ideal pet.

Here in the USA, our health care system may suck but we love Pit Bulls and Sharks, with just a touch of bunny thrown in.

think about that limey pinkos.

I'm not the least bit impressed by this obvious photoshop hack.

I don't know why I love this so much, but I do. Fucking great.

ahh, the illusive beluga pit-bit.

Anyone claiming we need a breed ban on 80% pit bull, 10% rabbit-faces with sharks for tails is a fucking douchebag. The only reason 80% pit bull, 10% rabbit faces with sharks for tails are responsible for a disproportionate number of attacks is because 80% pit bull, 10% rabbit faces with sharks for tails are disproportionately popular with assholes.

When raised in good homes, 80% pit bull, 10% rabbit faces with sharks for tails can be just as gentle and safe as any other freako monster horror pets.
