In Texas there lives an iguana that behaves like a dog and sometimes like a cat.
A giant iguana named Rocket became famous thanks to his owner Lee, who carefully documents and publishes their everyday life together.
Lee says that his pet has the tenacity of a dog - Rocket follows him everywhere, but at the same time, when the owner is watching TV, the iguana calmly and with interest delves into what is happening on the screen.
According to the man, Rocket is very motivated by food, sometimes even too motivated - he can disrupt the order in the refrigerator and turn everything over, and his favorite dish is bananas. Wherein,
Rocket is disciplined, enjoys walking on a leash, and plays with his dog named Coco. When Lee walks around the area with Rocket or goes to the store, they are recognized and greeted, and those who see them for the first time are surprised and look at them with interest.
If Rocket's friends (the owner and Coco) are busy, then he has fun alone, for example, examining empty dog food bags, especially those with a wolf drawn on them. Apparently, he senses a fellow creature in the wild.
Lee admits that caring for an iguana is not an easy task, but believes that he and Rocket are made for each other. According to him, the main thing that unites them is a love of music:
— We both love music, we know how to sway to the rhythm, to the beat. This is one of the things that connects us the most. I hope we have many more wonderful moments ahead.
