When a pronoun refers to a person, you're supposed to use "who." When a pronoun refers to an inanimate object, that's when you use "that."
"The computer that crashed."
"The plumber who fixed my clogged drain."
I suppose animals could go either way:
"The cat that caught the mouse," or, "The cat who caught the mouse."
Simple rule that too many people get wrong!

Shut up, dork.
