If I could choose a pet, I'd pick a Panda--because as far as the animal kingdom goes, Panda's are pretty boss.

Giant Panda

Although they look cute and cuddly, my Panda would be trained to protect my house from intruders. Forget the energy crisis! My Panda would also be equipped with a panda saddle, and we would be able to roam the vast countryside together in search of the meaning of life.

When we both get tired at the end of the day, Panda and I will build houses out of bamboo to sleep in. In the mornings before we leave on yet another full day of travel, Panda will eat the bamboo house for breakfast. No life is more efficient and practical than one with a panda.
