I don't have a favorite animal storybook, and as a child, my pets were picked out for me. For several years I gave every dog the name Snoopy, lol. Then one day the adults said it was time to pick a new name. My brother and I named that dog Bambi and when he got a companion I named Ariel after a female character on a television show (this was way before the Little Mermaid).
Fortunately, our pets never acted out that way, but most were outside dogs. They only came indoors during bad weather and the usually stayed in the utility room. Now that I'm older, I think all city dogs at least, should live indoors.
