Yes they do have dogs and cats as pets. It's becoming more popular here. But mostly the pets are somewhat neglected. As you probably already know they even eat dog in Vietnam. But it's not an outfront thing that you see on the street. It's kind of a back alley deal. They eat more dog in the north of Vietnam than they do in the south. I ate some by accident one time, They didn't tell me what it was. I apologized to the Lord. Lol
