It does retain the original count values. Its only the column name
that has changed. To change that you can use:
as.data.frame(xtabs(count ~., d.f), responseName = "count")
> # compare
> d.f[order(d.f$house, d.f$pet), ]
house pet count
2 house1 cats 1
1 house1 dogs 2
3 house2 dogs 2
4 house3 dogs 1
5 house4 budgie 2
6 house4 cat 3
7 house4 hamster 4
> DF <- subset(as.data.frame(xtabs(count ~., d.f), responseName = "count"),
> count > 0)
> DF[order(DF$house, DF$pet), ]
house pet count
9 house1 cats 1
13 house1 dogs 2
14 house2 dogs 2
15 house3 dogs 1
4 house4 budgie 2
8 house4 cat 3
20 house4 hamster 4
