Early in the 20th century, the majority of Americans considered cats and dogs as workers; they were herders, mousers, protectors. They worked on farms and ranches. They hunted, they retrieved. But, as Americans began the move out of the great Plains and wilderness into the big cities, they had a choice to make; bring the dog and/or cat, or abandon them. Fortunately, enough people brought their smaller animals with them and soon dogs and cats became the pampered family members we know today.
