Story[]
Big Bird notices someone with a pet dog. That strikes up a conversation about what type of pets everyone on Sesame Street would like. Big Bird decides he would like a giraffe so he can look up to talk to someone instead of down. Other characters chime in on what type of pet they have or would like (Bert: pigeons, Ernie: Rubber Duckie, Herry Monster: a kitten, Oscar the Grouch: a pig, Cookie Monster: a kangaroo).
