Ojibwe Indians usually had one pet.  The most common pet was a dog.

The dogs were used for lots of work.  Hunting was the main use for the pet dog.  Indian children petted their dogs and ocasionally played fetch with it. The other main animal was a horse but the horse was only used for work and travel.  The people would travel by riding them and horses carried goods from place to place.
