The 1st has a dog, a cat, a fish, and a pig.
While:
The 2nd has a pig, a dog, a cow, and a horse.

They have different animals....

Well,
When we´re given many items, we express them as A, B, C, D, and E. The 2nd has too many ¨and´s¨ which doesn´t look good in a sentence.

Dear,


The first sentence is more logical than the second in written english
or when narating a story. The repetion of " and " in the second sentence
maybe used for confirmation.

I think you mean the repetition of ¨and¨.
