Find out who takes all on
Animal Showdown!
It's time to put an
age-old rivalry to the test!
Let's see how human's two
favorite pets, cats and dogs
match-up for the
title of Best Companion!
Using science, we'll compare
their smarts and skills to see
who is the top
dog or cat's meow!
Forget which team
you think you're on.
Let's give each
contender a fighting chance.
The winner may surprise you!
Which would you rather
have for a pet?
A compact-sized
companion known for its charm.
Weighing as
little as five pounds,
and less than three feet long.
The Cat.
Or a furry friend, who can
be playful or protective.
Weighing as much as 250 pounds
or as little as three pounds.
The Dog.
Who do you think will
win the battle of best bud?
Let's meet our first
competitor, the Cat!
This frisky feline's history is
as mysterious as its behavior.
Cats may have been kept as pets
as long as 12,000 years ago.
Cats have lived all over the
world and come in all shapes,
sizes, and colors.
No matter the breed, they
all belong to one species.
All cats share the
natural ability to stalk
and pounce on prey,
but their favorite
pastime is sleeping.
In fact, cats can sleep
more than 15 hours a day!
So for people who don't have
time to tend to a pet more
than a few times a day, a
cat may be the purrrfect fit!
Winning points for being
a low maintenance pet!
The competition
is heating up!
We've seen the
purrfect companion,
the Cat.
Now it's time to meet
human's best friend,
the Dog!
This challenger is eager
to fetch the winning title!
Dating back
about 10,000 years,
dogs and wolves share the
same ancestors.
Natural wild hunters that
roamed in packs searching for
food.
Eventually, some evolved
into dogs and developed close
relationships with humans.
Today, several breeds
range in size and temperament.
From the yipping cupcake-sized
Chihuahua to the massive,
gentle giant the Great Dane.
Weighing as much as a
"Heavyweight" at 250 pounds to
less than a "Straw
Weight" at three pounds.
No matter the size, dogs
have lots of love for
their human friends.
The specialness of these
canine competitors is also in
their learning ability from the
ordinary to the extraordinary.
Dogs can be trained to do
everyday things like sit,
stay, go, fetch and give.
Ride a skateboard, help people
with blindness get around,
and even drive a car!
These trained tricksters
are pretty awesome!
-Yes! Yes! Good boy.
NARRATOR: It's come
down to the wire!
Both are loved and adored by
the people who care for them!
Who wins the bragging right of
best pet, the Cat or the Dog?
Only one can
advance to the next round.
The winner is...
the Dog!
Their friendship with
humans goes so deep!
Canine besties
that snuggle, fetch,
protect and shower their human
friends with so much love.
That's a K.O. for dogs
as the perfect pet!
So sorry cat-lovers it
was a tough call, but the
winner of the title of
Best Companion goes to the Dog!
Find out who wins the title
of the biggest on our next
match-up between a Blue Whale
and an Argentinosaurus on
Animal Showdown!
