Dog People vs. Cat People

    The age old question...cats or dogs? This has been a question asked for centuries and will continue to be asked until the end of time. At Chadron High, students have their own definite thoughts about what makes the perfect pet.
    Senior, Mallory Rhembrandt and sophomores, Luke Tiensvold, Alexys Fernandez, and Moriah Hastings all err on the side of the mighty K-9. All of these students are proud dog owners and make time in their busy lives to play with their furry friends for at least 30 minutes a day. Alexys even said, “I play with my dog periodically throughout the entire day.” 
    The students all have good reasons for being the dog lover they are. Mallory has had her dog, Stella for two years and has become very attached to her. Luke is also very attached to his seven year-old dog, and told that they even “sleep together some nights.” Moriah is also very fond of her three four-legged pets. She said, “They keep my stress level down, are great company, and always are there for me.” These students definitely have great reasons to back-up their unconditional love for their pups.
    Teagan Westemeier, a senior, and Michael Collins, a junior, both consider themselves cat people. Teagan recently got her cat, Smudge, and has been completely infatuated by it ever since. Although she is a dog owner as well, she swings more towards being a cat person rather than a dog person. Michael has multiple barn cats. He doesn't see them too often, but it's always nice when he does. They are very useful to have around because they “eat the mice and help out a lot.”
