Scientific Names of Domestic Animals

Can you guess the scientific names of humans and their favorite domestic animals?
(Hint: to make things easier, it is not necessary to give the answers in Latin. This quiz accepts words in English, French, Spanish, or Italian--and in some cases German and Portuguese too--as long as the words have the correct Latin root. Try nouns and adjectives in whatever Western European languages you speak.)
