Zombies vs Pets. What would you do?

[Septik]

From what I've seen after extensive research watching The Walking Dead, dogs make excellent zombie detectors. Also they are immune to the zombie disease. And once they get a taste for human flesh, they are self sustaining. I can see myself having a pack of six pit bulls.

TWD is cool in that it took the common, stereotypical, zombie outbreak and changed it just enough to be unique. It is the only 'zombie-verse' where everyone turns, bitten or not, and as far as i know, is the only one where animals dont turn. There have been others where they didnt show turned animals, but TWD is the only one i know of that says outright its just people.

Personally id bring my dog, not sure how long he'd last. he is a solid guard dog and i could see him coming in handy like you said as a detector, but that could also be very bad, drawing more to us. As long as he could figure out to stay out of arms reach of the undead he might stand a chance. My cat id throw in my get away vehicle as well but i dont think he'd have the brains to stick with me and the family, hed probably get lost along the way, but at least i tried..

But in the end the main reason id bring them both is to eat them if it got that bad survival wise.

I wouldn't leave my cat behind. I'd take her with me - though if at all possible I'd simply reinforce the doors and windows of my house and try to remain there for as long as possible.
