  5. (6 points) Download the picture of the cats and dog displayed on the page downloadPic.html. Save it as pets.jpg. Please note that the picture is protected from being downloaded, so you usually can't just right click and save the picture directly. Also note that a screenshot of this picture won't work since that will not be identical to the original. You need to somehow download the original image. If you download the correct image, it will be 21,145 bytes in size.
