Iwaya-Sumire est une femme grande, intelligente ( Hardvard ), fière , et qui complexe pas mal de monde autour d'elle par sa prestance. Son ex l'a quittée pour cette raison. Son Patron lui fait du harcelement sexuel! Elle lui casse une dent et se fait transferée dans une autre section du journal, pour lequel elle travaille. Elle a tout sauf le coté social et amical qui en ferait une femme parfaite. En rentrant chez elle, elle trouve un carton en bas de son immeuble. Par curiosité elle l'ouvre et decouvre un jeune homme, endormis et blessé. La pluie se met a tomber et elle ramène le carton chez elle. Bizarement, elle va soigner le jeune, le laver, et le nourir en faisant preuve de beaucoup de tendresse. Le lendemain soir, en retrant chez elle, elle remarque que le jeune homme est encore là. La tendresse envolée, elle le met à la porte. Enfin, elle essaye car le jeune homme tient à rester auprès de celle qui l'a soigné, et comme il n'a nulle part où aller ca l'arrangerait. Au bout de quelques minutes, elle accepte mais à une seule condition qu'elle pensait disuasive : qu' il devienne son chien Pourquoi son chien ? Depuis qu'elle l'a trouvé dans le carton, elle trouve une ressemblance flagrante avec le chien qu'elle aimé de tout coeur dans son enfance, et dont disparition lui a fait beaucoup de peine. Le jeune homme, sans fiereté mais avec plaisir accepte de jouer le role d'animal de compagnie. Sumire, surprise qu'il accepte cette condition tente en vain de l'en dissuader, et finalement abandonne. Elle l'adopte et lui donne le nom de Momo ( nom du chien de son enfance dont j'ai parlé au dessus ). Un couple hors du commun va vivre sous le même toit, Sumire, la femme forte va petit a petit s'attendrir, et montrer à momo des aspects de sa personnalité que personne n 'aurait jusqu'alors imaginés. Bien sûr, pas de sexe entre eux, juste une relation homme /animal un peu farfelue, et tout cela sera rendu un peu plus intéressant lors de la rerencontre (Source: thetvdb) Edit Translation

Reviews
Without sounding too pretentious, this drama is really about human relationships and how societies expectations make us question our wants and needs in our personal lives. This drama addresses those thoughts that we all have to ourselves: “I like this, but what would my friends think about it? What would my co-workers say if they knew I was doing this? What would my parents say!? Am I wrong for feeling this way?”
The lead characters are complex and well acted by Kato and MatsuJun. Particularly with the Momo character, I really liked that there was more to him than meets the eye. He’s not just some shallow, free-loading bum with a pretty face. Just like Sumire, he too has his emotional scars and is being healed by their unconventional relationship.
In addition to being smart and well-acted, the drama is downright sexy! Not overtly so, but in very subtle and playful actions between the main characters. It’s funny how some of those moments are intended to be completely “non-sexual,” but still feel as such because of the undeniable chemistry between the two leads. There’s also a lot of sexual tension throughout the series, which is never a bad thing. :)
The script is also youthful and wonderfully comedic. Sumire’s best friend in particular is candid and absolutely refreshing in her role. I love characters that unabashedly say what the audience is likely thinking!
My only complaint about this drama is the use of the Fukushima character. Why must all melodramas portray their antagonist as a typical b*tchy, jealous and spiteful woman? I get really tired of that character. She’s in, like, EVERY drama. It would be nice if writers could re-think the antagonist role, or at least make it more interesting. The Hasumi character is also a bit too gullible for my taste, but he isn't completely intolerable and serves his purpose well enough.
Overall though, Kimi wa Petto is so well-acted, interesting, sexy and funny that the plusses greatly overshadow the small, b*tchy and gullible minuses. :)

Despite the weirdish pet/owner relationship between the main characters, this drama is somehow very realistic. In the end, it is about people searching for someone with whom they can be themselves and that is a something everyone can relate to. Even if you don't like Matsumoto Jun - who, by the way, does a superb job in this drama, very adorable - you should give this drama a try. It might well be that at the end of this drama you too hope to have an adorable Momo as your pet! ;)
If you have read the manga, I think that this drama adaptation isn't a bad one at all. It's different, of course, and it doesn't follow the manga faithfully: there are quite a few changes and some characters omitted, some added/having bigger roles. However, I do think that the drama has the same spirit as the manga, and the main characters are quite the same. Anyways, I read the manga after watching this, so my opinion might be a bit biased since I was charmed by Matsumoto Jun's Momo first. :)
