Last week's poll asked for you to consider the furry (or not so furry) animal friends that inhabit the world of science fiction, and then nominate the ones you'd want by your side through the various and sundry challenges that life—sci-fi or otherwise—has to offer.
This topic struck a chord with our readership and between the blog and the facebook group, there were several dozen characters nominated. But by now you guys know how this works: only 10 of your excellent selections could move on to the final round of voting, and now...
...it's time to decide.
Last week you were free to vote for as many as you'd like, this week, we'll ask you to narrow down your choice to one selection. Which furry friend is the very best?
*This list is made up by combining votes from this blog and our Facebook group.

Personally, I don’t think sentient beings belong in the survey…
That would eliminate the best companions! Where would you place Einstein? I would say he, Little Furry, Blood, and the dragons of Pern were all sentient.
