After my suggestions and experimenting with both a Pet Event and adding a Pet on the Child list I prefer the Event. I have edited the Event description to my liking. I include the name, breed, and species in the Description. This way a search can find all breeds, or species.
The first sentence for this reads: [Name] had a pet named [Desc] born [Date] [inPlace]. [Notes] Each following sentence is based on this. Example: Evan Matthew Henderson had a pet named Taj Mahal, a red & black Longhaired Dachsund Canine born 28 Feb 1990. Matt adopted Taj March 1991. Taj was escorted to the Rainbow Bridge with dignity after a lengthy battle with Malignant Melanoma on 5 Sep 2003.

Obvious examples are "Pet Dog", Pet, or Canine Companion, Feline Companion. I like the latter since a pet is more a family member and a companion than a Pet.

I had thought of children but couldn't think how to differentiate them from 'real' children.
