I'm pretty sure this is one of those unsolvable mysteries.
Work the clues and assign the four pets named. The fifth pet, presumably a fish, belongs to the German. Since the fish is not mentioned among the clues, the solution could be, "No one owns the fish." The German could have a hamster.

If the German ever had a fish, then the Norwegian probably pickled and ate it.

I'd say the shortest bridge is the intramolecular connection that spans atoms or groups of atoms. It's microscopic.
