Pets are a part of most of our lives, dogs, cats, birds, and even rabbits and other small critters.

However, did you know there is a Michigan law that says there are 9 animals that are illegal to own as a pet.

The law says it is illegal to own a pet not native to America. And one of those illegal-to-own pets is a dog! Well, it's sort of a dog.

Wikipedia says a wolfdog is a canine produced by the mating of a domestic dog with a gray wolf, eastern wolf, red wolf, or Ethiopian wolf to produce a hybrid dog.

Why would you want to own this dog? Some people just want exotic animals, but, no, no, not in Michigan.

What about other so call pets you cannot own in Michigan?

Well, Lions, Tigers and Bears come to mind. Oh my!
