GROUPING BY multiple columns/reqs

Say i have the following table

| type        | date         | count       |
+-------------+--------------+-------------+
| cat         | 2014-2-5     |      2      |
| horse       | 2014-2-7     |      3      |
| cat         | 2014-1-28    |      1      |
| dog         | 2014-7-12    |      5      |
| cat         | 2014-9-30    |      7      |
+-------------+--------------+-------------+

I want to see how much of each type was sold each month i.e

| type  | Year      | 2014Month=1 | 2014Month=2 |2014Month=7 |2014Month=9 |
+-------+-----------+-------------+-------------+------------+------------+
| cat   | 2014      |      1      |      2      |      0     |      7     |
| horse | 2014      |      0      |      3      |      0     |      0     |
| dog   | 2014      |      0      |      0      |      5     |      0     |
+-------+-----------+-------------+-------------+------------+------------+

So far the closest thing i could come up with is to do it one month at a time e.g. for February 2014:

SELECT type, YEAR(date), SUM(count) FROM myTable GROUP BY type WHERE date BETWEEN "2014-2-1" AND "2014-2-31";

And then manually rerun changing the dates for each month. There must be an easier way
