Things common in the US that are rare in Mexico, and vice versa

Regarding pets - that is changing very quickly in Mexico. Perhaps it's a sign of increasing economic security - you can find Mexican dog rescue groups all over Facebook, even for strays that were treated like garbage even 10 years ago. My husbands sister is one of those. She's actually become a bit of a hoarder along with her network of people in Tijuana.

One thing is the United States and Mexico share in common is an abundance of Mexicans in both countries.

Students in the US who use fingers while computing and cannot read at the grade level are Mexicans. Sorry to burst your bubble!

This is true, the mentality towards pets is changing. This is a problem throughout all of Latin America though.
