Cats or dogs?

Many people consider themselves as a cat person or a dog person, while some love both. Which you end up favoring might depend on where you're from. 

In Switzerland, Austria, and Turkey cats outnumber dogs three to one. On the other hand, in India pet dogs outnumber cats ten to one.

South America and large parts of Asia belong to the dogs, but cats rule the Middle East and parts of Africa. Brazil has more small dogs per capita than any other country - there are over 20,000,000 dogs under 20 pounds in Brazil.

Looking at the USA, the differences from place to place aren't that big, but there are a difference between cat loving and dog loving states.
