Schools vary as to their policies on animals. Many schools have a kind of unoccicial school dog or cat. These are normally the pets of the headmaster's family or other sfaff member. Of course living at school, these animals have enormous attention lavished on them. Many of the dogs in particular learn who belongs at school and who doesn't. While the children are not allowed to bring their larger pet to school, some schools do allow them to keep smaller pets like guinea pigs and rabbits. The children play with them and look after them in their free time. There is somewhay of an overlap woth animals that might be kept in the classroom or science lan, these might include snakes, frogs, rats, and others depending on the teacher's interest and forebearance.
