However, there are a couple of ways to think about this:
* Long-lived pets: Some pets, like tortoises and certain fish, can live for decades, potentially outliving their owners if the owner dies young.
* Pets adopted later in life: If someone adopts a pet later in life, it's possible the pet could outlive them if the owner is elderly.
Ultimately, it's rare for a pet to outlive its owner, but it's not impossible.
