person A: The other day I noticed my pet has a growth on her lower belly. I fear it may be a tumor.
person B: What kind of pet is it? Hope your animal is okay!
person A: She's a rat_comma_ so her body is very frail. I'm sad that she likely will not make it. She's been with me through thick and thin.
person B: I heard rats make awesome pets_comma_ I'm so sorry! Is your rat in pain?
