Pets by Lorena Roca

PETS by vijair
 
There have always been pets. People either hate or love their company. For sure, having a pet has various advantages and disadvantages that I will try to point out in my essay.
On the one hand, the main advantage of having a pet is that they can replace people and become one of our nearest and dearest. For instance, if someone lives alone he or she would find it very enjoyable the company of a pet. Furthermore, the presence of an animal at home may provide greater feelings of security, especially when this pet is a dog. In addition to this you can play with your pets and, if you like to work out, you can take them running with you.
On the other hand, keeping a pet involves lots of responsibilities .You must make sure that you can afford it, because pets are very expensive, and you must take into account that if you decide to buy a pet you will be responsible for the animal until it dies.
In conclusion, I think that pets can be very helpful. I believe that the relationship between animals and humans can be as diverse and complicated as it is among humans

Man´s best friend. By Erika


An old golden by pmarkham
The saying goes that ¨a dog is man´s best friend ¨. This is true.

Having a pet has many advantages. They make you company when you feel alone or when you are sad without expecting anything in return.

Dogs are especially beneficial for old people. They can reduce depression and lessen loneliness. My father, who has been suffering from depression since my mother´s death, has recently bought a German shepherd and he has become his best friend and companion. As my dad is retired, he has lots of time to devote to his pet and he feels much better now.

However, dogs can give you a lot of work, especially large breeds. And feeding them is usually very expensive. Many families cannot afford to take them to the vet or buy dog food. For this reason many dogs are abandoned lately.

In my opinion, before buying a dog you have to think about it carefully. But I have a dog and he gives me a lot of work and I sometimes   think about giving it away, but when I think about how much I love my dog I am happy to have him for me.
