A nice and cute short.

I liked AJ trying to help Fluttershy open up and Fluttershy finally getting comfortable when interacting with the pets.

I liked all the pets and owners shown, all but one... I'm sorry, but I can't take stuffed Gummy seriously in this sort of work. I'm starting to think that Pinkie Pie has some serious mental issues and everyone else just humors her to avoid any risky situation.

Major recognition to Trixie and Bulk Biceps as the best owners (with the best new pets).

Also... does Apple Bloom looks older in this one? I got that feeling when I saw her.

I think she’s just goofing around because she wants to feel included. I’d like to see her get an actual pet, though.

Laying aside a certain sad fic i regret stumbling across (don't read if you don't like sad things https://www.fimfiction.net/story/148580/hell-never-leave-me)if these girls are anything like their pony counterparts they all have serious mental issues. Twilight has regular stress breakdowns, Pinky started talking to inanimate objects when she thought her friends were rejecting her, Rarity regularly falls apart over many things (such as the manehattan incident "I don't even know what ponies are supposed to wallow in"), Fluttershy is borderline phobic on some issues and then there have been her overagression moments "If anything happens to them Twilight so help me" or "Your going to LOVE me!", Rainbow Dash tried to stop winter and sabotauged Cloudsdales weather factory for Tank and Applejack drove herself into the ground rather than ask for help during Applebuck season.

I did like Bulks happy kiss of his dog after her interview, not entirely sure what Trixies was.

I don't think Apple Bloom looks older compared to her other Equestria Girls versions though she does appear to be older than her pony counterpart who's still mostly being drawn as a filly.

Gonna be honest here, I just liked this because it had Fluttershy interacting with dogs. The cute is irresistible to me.

That was a pretty cute short.

I wish they'd talked to Trixie, I wanted to find out what her pet is.

This was a very cute short thanks to Fluttershy, and it was nice to see that Rainbow brought Tank to the competition, and Applejack was happy to see Winona there as well.

Do they had to tease is? I feel like this could have been a 20 minute episode.

Nice too see more AJ & FS.

This short was not the best.  Coming off of Game Stream, this short is underwhelming and it doesn't help that we have already had a funny Applejack/Rarity short and a funny Sunset/Fluttershy short.  At least it was interesting to hear what the pets had to say, but I wouldn't watch this short again.
