Data update 1

 1. What dataset will you use for your final report? (Title of your dataset, include a link to it) 

2. Describe the dataset. What kind of data does it contain?


3. Is there anything about your data that you don’t understand? (I.e. what a column heading means) how will you find this out?


4. What are some questions you hope to answer with your data? List at least three. (You don’t need the answers at this point)


1. Animal Control Inventory (Lost and Found)  https://opendata.vancouver.ca/explore/dataset/animal-control-inventory-lost-and-found/export/?disjunctive.breed&disjunctive.color&sort=date


2. This dataset contains information about lost and found animals, including their breed, colour, date of entry, name, sex, and current status (e.g., lost). Each entry seems to represent an individual animal.


3. One column that might need further clarification is the "Sex" column, which includes entries like "F/S" and "M/N." These abbreviations likely refer to whether the animal is spayed/neutered. To confirm this, I would refer to any accompanying documentation for the dataset or consult with someone familiar with animal control records.


4.

   - What are the most common breeds of animals reported as lost?

   - Are there specific times of the year when more animals go missing?

   - What are the most common colours or patterns of animals that go missing or are found?
