The reason I'm asking this question is because I recently read an article about a man in India who just happens to share his food and living space with 730-plus dogs. It's okay, he lives on a farm (because that many hounds in an apartment would just be weird).
I never would have thought to dig into this topic if a friend from out of state hadn't recently (and quite randomly) asked me if Rockford is a dog or cat town, and what Illinois people prefer to have hanging around the house in the pet category.

Okay, pop-quiz time. Without quickly Googling it, can you name Illinois' official state dog? How about our official state cat? It's okay if you can't, because we don't have them.
