Reddit Users Answer: What Animal Would You Choose As Both A Pet And Protector

We found this reddit prompt to be an interesting thought experiment that pushed us to imagine a world in which we could potentially have ANY animal as both a pet and protector. Now, there are very different qualities that make an animal attractive as a pet rather than a protector, so one really needs to think from all angles here.

In a pet we look for an animal that will show us loyalty, endless love, and support. However, in a protector we would search for a strong animal that would be able to adequately defend and protect us should there every be a need. We need to find a happy medium here. An animal that has both the qualities that we seek in a pet as well as the qualities we seek in an protector. Hmm. We need some time to think, let's see what Reddit users came up with when faced with this question!
