OP: I have two cats and two dogs and I wish to solve for total animals

OP: I don't want a big library for a small task
SO: well if you're not willing to adopt a well-tested library, you're not much of a programmer.
SO: Are you going to show some code or what?
OP: Oh, I found out by asking a human being. Thanks!
