Ever noticed the difference in a person who owns pets or likes animals and person who does not own a pet. The difference lies in the pronouns they use. A person who owns a pet will generally refer to a pet by using the correct sex. For example if you own a dog and a guest comes comes over. If the guest also owns a pet they would ask you, 'What is her/his name?' On the other hand if a person who doesn't own a pet comes then they'd say, 'What is its name?'
It is very easy to figure decipher if someone owns a pet or not because for a person who does own one, the pet is always a part of the family. So the pet/animal would always be referred to by the appropriate pronoun which is either he or she.
