After a long period of silence, Kevin said, "This isn't going to work. I mean, you're a dog person and I'm a cat person." Juno nodded. A tear rolled down her face.Kevin went on, "If we got married and bought a house, what kind of pet would we get? Some kind of cat-dog? Somebody's going to be unhappy."Juno began sobbing and said, "Ok, let's just end it now. Have fun with your slobbery dogs." She jumped off the bench and ran into the woods.

Final answer:

The text is written in the Third Person Limited point of view, providing insight into the thoughts and emotions of only the two main characters, Kevin and Juno.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text provided is narrated in Third Person Limited.

In third-person limited point of view, the narrator describes the events of the story from the outside and typically aligns with the perspective of one or a few characters. This narrator does not use 'I,' 'you,' 'we,' or reveal the thoughts and feelings of all characters but instead focuses on just one character's inner state or several characters' but not all. In the provided story snippet, the narrative perspective aligns with Kevin and Juno, giving us insight into their thoughts and emotions, but not everybody's, which would be characteristic of an omniscient viewpoint.
