[N-P]

Does region play a factor in the likelihood of pet ownership or affinity for pets? I grew up in the Midwest, in a city where almost every home was a detached single-family house with a yard. As a result, most people who had them kept their dogs outside, tied up in the yard. And people generally seemed to train them to be watchdogs, meaning they barked at strangers. I never learned to be comfortable with animals because I was strictly taught never to try to pet a strange dog, because it was often a watchdog. But in the densely populated cities of the East Coast, I'm amazed at how much less aggressive toward strangers dogs here are, and how much less dogs bark or jump. I think kids fear strange dogs out East much less than I was taught to.
