exodejavu  +  604863 Thu, 04 Dec 08 08:26 PM Hi~  I just now happened to find an entry for one of my favorite cartoons Lady and the Tramp as a child. Lady and the Tramp (1955) a cartoon made by Walt Disney, about two dogs who meet and have a romantic relationship. Lady is a pedigree dog (=a special type of dog), and she is very well cared for, but the Tramp is a mongrel (=a mixture of different types of dogs) who lives on the street. ” Quoted from Lady and the Tramp - Definition from Longman English Dictionary online  "Who" for animals? How so? Best Regards exodejavu Joined on Wed, Nov 5 2008 Taiwan Full Member 249 Zealous in mastering the English language Regards

	exodejavu  +  604979 Thu, 04 Dec 08 10:52 PM Thank you two~ That is also what I thought, but I am not sure. So, it is safe to use "who" for animals if they are personified...right? Like those personified animals in Aesop's fables? exodejavu
