"We have a couple of dogs, but I wouldn't describe myself as an animal person"

About this Quote
Pamela Stephenson's quote suggests that she is not particularly enthusiastic regarding animals, in spite of having a number of canines. She is likely implying that she does not have a solid psychological link to pets, and that she does not prioritize them in her life. This could be as a result of a range of reasons, such as not having grown up around animals, or merely not having a strong fondness for them. It is possible that she still enjoys and cares for her canines, however that she does not have a strong link to animals in general. Her quote could likewise be interpreted as her not wanting to be classified as an "animal individual," which could be because of her not intending to be associated with certain stereotypes or undertones that include the label.
