The pronoun our is a personal pronoun.
Explanation:
The following is a list of personal pronouns:
If you see, our is a personal possessive pronoun, meaning that it shows personal ownership. In this case, our dog keeps barking at her cats. The dog belongs to the speaker.
Now, you might be asking, "Isn't her also a personal pronoun?"
In this case, it is just a pronoun, not a personal pronoun. The cat does not belong to the speaker--it belongs to her.
The dog is ours... The cat is hers.
Therefore, our is the personal pronoun in this sentence.
Hope this helps!
