Very Cool.
I haven't read the reviews yet, although I will soon since I'm sure this caused quite a lot of controversy with the dog scene, and before reading your update I too was thinking 'yes, whats wrong with pet shops?'.
Hey, it's the culture, my grandparents would have done the same. Regardless of that, kudos to you for being honest and including it, nicely animated and impressive of you to be so personal!
