Choosing a pet: the questions to ask first, sentence 10

Pet allergies come from tiny bits of skin and spit, not really from fur, and no breed is truly allergy-free, so spending time with a pet first is a good test.

Who acts: Pet allergies, breed, spending · What happens: come, be, spend · To what, where: tiny bits, good test
