/**
Removed Unused Global Variables: Deleted const capitalisedPets because the array was being processed
but never used anywhere in the script.

Eliminated Dead Code (Functions): Removed the logPets function since it was never called, keeping 
the codebase focused only on the required output.

Simplified Internal Logic:

Renamed the function to countPets for brevity.

Replaced the if/else statement inside the forEach loop with a Logical OR shortcut (|| 0). This 
handles both initializing the count and incrementing it in a single line.

Optimized Memory Usage: Removed the intermediate variable countedPetsStartingWithH. Instead, 
I passed the function call directly into console.log, as the result didn't need to be stored for further use.

Improved Code Scope: Ensured the function uses its local parameter instead of relying on external 
global variables.
