Hands on with an american bullfrog and giant cloud rat...

The results of a huge national pet survey are in & there are some surprises.

A census of over a thousand pet owners, has revealed that three quarters of people see their pet as a member of the family.

A QUARTER admitted their pet is more like a child to them than an animal & more than half said they would rather hug their pet than a child!

Lisa's clearly an animal lover, so Mike Parr sent her out to see some animals.

She was expecting cuddly puppies or fluffy kittens, but that wasn't quite the case...
