[Who's Liable?]

If you don't want to pay a pet rent, tell your pet to get a job...

Be careful though

If you don't want to pay a pet rent, tell your pet to get a job...

Make sure your pet is of age to work though, you wouldn't want to get
in trouble for putting an underage doggie or kitty to work..
