Pet Polls

My name is Scoop, which is not very human sounding. In fact, I think it is a verb. But according to a new AP poll, most people give their dogs people names!

Also, this poll says that most people consider us dogs just as much a family member as the people in the house. I know my people always treat me like family....I even get to sleep in the bed. I didn't know how lucky I was until I learned from this poll that only a third of pets get to sleep in their people's beds! Maybe my name should have been Lucky....
