^ Spike isn't twilight's pet. If he was, he'd be like all the other animals that are considered pets, and not talk. Also, in Dragon Quest he gets his OWN pet. So that kinda deconstructs the whole "he's a pet" idea. And also, he's treated as a normal citizen. Heck, in the Secret of My Excess,twilight takes him to a regular pony doctor, as if he was like any normal pony. She only takes him to the vet as a last resort. And if you pay attention to when the doctor recommends he see a vet, she looks upset to hear that. As if to say, she even detested the idea. He has responsibilities, he's considered a friend to all the ponies, and even considered family.
