Would any of you deal with having a pet, say a dog, while on the run in a Zed infected world?
Any other animal you'd like to keep?

A horse or donkey would be useful, would animals be susceptible to the zombie virus?

Well, i was thinking along the lines of a Resident Evil type scenario, but i guess we are sticking with Romero style outbreaks.

Heres a good question. If your across town, or in another city when the undead start to walk, would you try to make it home to your pet? Or would you leave them to thier fate?

I would like/need to get home period!! That's where i keep my stuff. :lol:
My dogs and cats would be incidental i think, as well as my fish in the event of an outbreak. In my home they would be a good alarm. The dogs, not the cats or fish.:lol:
On the run?? :think: I think i would possibly try to keep the dogs with me/us (the family) and the cats could split. If they had to be left behind I would toss the food outside and let them loose. If Zeds do eat non humans then o-well, if they don't then lucky them.:drinking:
Sorry slimy kids.

My dog is getting old and has back hip problems, but I'd still take him with me. There was a discussion about this kind of thing long ago on this board, and I forget who said it but they said that animals are also a great source for finding food and water, that has kinda stuck with me since. My dog can smell food from behind a closed door, on the first floor when I'm on the second with something I just made. Yeah, he'd definitely come with me.

Hello everyone, i'm new here.
It depends on if animals could be affected by the virus, but if they were then I would make sure that I keep a close eye on my dog and 2 cats. If they were infected I would try to lock them out before they turn. It would be hard though because I love my dog, she's awesome.
If they couldn't be affected by the virus in any way then I would put them down in a humane way because they would be a burden, but still, very hard to do as well.

Why not just let them fend for themselves? They'd probably do alright.:drinking:

I dont think I could do that if they are healthy. I have a smaller dog, so I guess hes staying with me.

I would find it very difficult because I love my dog and it would be painful letting go. Also, if they were to fend for themselves (my memory is a little fuzzy) wouldn't the zeds attack the animals. I know that they wouldn't really notice a dog or a cat until they would start attacking a zed. Then the zeds will start to fight back at the animal.
And the food idea is good but it would have to be at the point where you're scratching a living off air. lol

I'm sure if things got bad enough (hunger), you would eat your dog Snoopy and fight for the bones. :cry:
I'm not sure if I would go back home to rescue my pets. They are like family to me, but I wouldn't like to think I would risk dying to save them. I could be wrong though. If I was close to home and it seemed safe, I am sure I would head in that direction.
Although I would like to take my cats along (if I made it home), it would mean having to carry them. That would be a pain, so I would just have to set them free. My dog will only follow if she is on a leash, but she is very loyal and would probably be an asset. Her I would take with me.
Sorry to the guinea pig, you get left behind. :cry:

"I have two cats which are great hunters and quite resourceful. I would just leave them to their own if I was far away. If I was at home, I would take them with me. They ride in the truck quite well, and both love to camp." :)

Dog and a horse. A dog would bark when zeds are nearby and a horse can get you around when the gas runs out for vehicles.
