How to get int value for enumeration in Enumeration

If I had the meaning: "dog" and the listing:

public enum Animals
{
  dog = 0 ,
  cat = 1 ,
  rat = 2
}

How could I get 0 for the value "dog" in animals?

EDIT:

I am wondering if there is an index like acces. More common: how can I get an integer for a string value.

To answer your question "how can I get an integer for a string value":

To convert from a string to an enumeration and then convert the resulting enumeration to int, you can do this:

public enum Animals
{
    dog = 0,
    cat = 1,
    rat = 2
}

...

Animals answer;

if (Enum.TryParse("CAT", true, out answer))
{
    int value = (int) answer;
    Console.WriteLine(value);
}
