We have a cat and a rabbit and fish and my husband adores our cat as if it was the Queen :) he be heartbroken if she suddenly left us .But we dont have a dog. if we did, it would remain out side in good accomadation and warm surroundings and regular walks The prophet always say respect your animals if you disrespect Allah will make you answer to them at the time of judgement they have rights even us as us humans to be respected .But yes you will get some muslims that choose to say its against the relgion to have pets, no this is not true ,that comment just suits their own needs .
