My pet is hairy.
He’s always very hungry.
You think he’s my dog.

Born in an egg,
Someday he will learn to fly.
You think he’s a bird.

Strangely, you are wrong.
My pet is a caterpillar.
I tricked you, didn’t I?

No haha. Just a pug, a malamute, a rabbit, two birds, and some fish. They are my inspiration :)
