It means that the tissue is absorbing the radioactive sugar they injected you with prior to the PET scan.

Is your pet your protection?
This question is unclear. Do you mean "is your pet supposed to protect you" or "are you supposed to protect your pet"? If you are asking if your pet is supposed to protect you, then no. Your pet is you, the owner's, responsibility and it really not a pet's job to protect you. Even a lot of dogs do not have a natural guarding instinct and will prefer to hide in situations it does not like. If the question is "are you supposed to protect your pet?" then yes, absolutely! A pet, no matter what species it is, depends on the owner for its health, happiness and safety - a good owner strives to provide all these things. A pet should not be used as a status symbol, or used as a commodity.
