Dogs are the best pet to have!


Every family has a pet and I reckon the amazing dog is the best pet to have. They are cheap to look after, they make great helpers to people and they work well with kids. They are super loyal and cute. Read more to find out about dogs and I bet, you’ll be sprinting off to your nearest pet shop today!
           


Dogs are very fun, especially with kids. If you have an extra dog they can keep another dog company or your child. They make a great companion to kids. You can go and relax while your dog goes and plays with your kids. When you start playing with your dog, you won’t want to stop!


Dogs are very cheap unlike rabbits and guinea pigs that need a cage to clean out every day. They only need a adults handful of food and a bowl of water. They need a water bowl and a food bowl. You can find those on trademe for $2, food is very cheap and water is free.


Dogs can be great helpers. With a little bit of training, dogs can be a read dog and that will help kids at school to read and be interested in reading or they can make good guide dogs for older people or even kids. They don’t even need to be helpful at work, they can be good watch dogs and great indoor pets.
Some people think dogs are stinky, messy and dirty. However they are only messy because they want to have fun and play. If you give them a bath at least 3-5 times a month you will have a fresh clean dog.


So now you know why dogs are the best pet. Don’t run to the shop yet! Just a few more sentences!  You see how dogs are very fun, cheap to look after and they make great helpers. O.K Now you can go sprint off!
