Not Everyone has a Dog
Students show diversity in their pet choices
One Canton elementary student, Denny Miller has an opossum for a pet. She takes old fruit and fruit peelings home from the school cafeteria to feed it..
“Nobody really has an opossum. It’s just rare that we have one, and it’s fun because they chase your hands around.” Denny Miller, elementary student, said.
A junior high student, Camdyn Lee, has a bearded dragon as a pet. Bearded dragons are reptiles that look like really big lizards. They have to stay warm under heat lamps so taking care of one of these might be harder than expected.
Many other students have weird pets. Freshman Alexa Delgado has a pet peacock in her backyard.
“I just really wanted a peacock, so I got one I found on the road,” Delgado said.
Devon Reilly has two ruby macaws in his bedroom. Ruby macaws are red birds with blue and green around the edge of their wings. They are like the parrots in every pirate movie.
The Foster family basically has a zoo right inside their house. Their pets include ferrets, fancy rats, parrots, and sugar gliders.
