Keeping pets
What are pets? Just the domesticated animals we keep in our home and take care of? Or perhaps more than this? For many of us, pets are unique and individual characters, almost people in the sense of how we relate to them. We speak to them and give them the physical affection (kissing, hugging, stroking and carrying) normally reserved for our children. In this way they could even be treated as members of our families. For me, I would like to keep pets, because they act as members of my families, bringing companionship, a sense of security and life lessons of responsibilities to people, especially children. But some of my friends hate pets, they think keeping pets brings a lot of disadvantages.
The biggest annoying thing to them is that caring pets needs time. However, I hold the very opposite opinion. More people feel alone in the busy and hectic routine of the present day world. Hence, people need companionship to avoid stress and mental anguish. It can be found that more and more people suicide because they become depressed and doubt whether they have worth. This thought will make the situation deteriorate. If they keep pets, they will be accompanied at home and can talk and play with them. These pets are good silent listeners and best secret keepers, which help people to overcome the loneliness. Furthermore, some special dogs can help disable people, especially the blind. For example, they help blind people to cross the road to protect their safety.
Secondly, money is also an obstacle. But at the same time, most people keep dogs for their home security. When an intruder or a stranger walks around your house, dogs will bark loudly, making a noise to warn you and frighten the stranger. Therefore, you do not need to worry that burglars may break into the house. Instead, your dogs will help to protect your money and safety.
In addition, t he pets especially dogs are naughty and it should be instructed. So keeping pets can teach children to be responsible and respect life. It can encourage a child to feel accountability and help to develop a conscience and sense of responsibility, because the child feel that feeding and taking care of a pet is his responsibility to avoid the pet from danger. Moreover, children learn that pets deserve respectful treatment, just as they do. They find that pets are like humans, which also have needs and feelings, and can get hungry, thirsty and tired. They deserve caring as humans.
In conclusion, I must say pets will make your life as fun as you can imagine.
