Hey, some people need to spend $50 large to learn an important lesson.
Then again, if they had the pet since infancy anyways, the pet's
personality likely had a lot to do with how the owner raised it. Any
discrepancies, then, could be chalked up to the fact that the owner
didn't do EXACTLY everything they did with the previous pet over again.
