(2nd Essay) Having a pet

These furry animals are wonderful friends, sometimes being a great help in our houses. But keeping a pet in your home isn’t always quite the right decision.

You have plenty of good reasons for keeping an animal: his company, making you to never feel alone, almost always makes you laugh, always cheers you up and none the less, it protects you (mostly the dogs). A companion is every time welcomed in your life. It doesn’t matter if it’s a person or a pet, as long as you have someone to talk to, even if it doesn’t understand. It helps for you. To be happy is one of the most important things for a human being. The pet can assure you this happiness every time you need it. They are playful and full of life when they’re healthy, as the only thing you have to do is to take care of them. Also, they can assure your security, even save your life. Dogs are well known for this because of their loyalty sense. They would be able to risk their lives for saving their masters.

Although their good characteristics, they’ve got also problems. You have always to clean after them, to take care of their needs and, worse, you can get sick because of them. If they are not well trained, the animals will leave their “needs” everywhere in the house. Not only the smell is the problem, but these can also produce illnesses because of their germs. This is another problem about the pets. If they are not taken to doctor regularly, they can get sick and then you can get the virus from them. Not in the last place, you have to always take care of them: feed them, take them for walk, and in some cases wash them. And this isn’t cheap at all – having a pet means lots of money to pay for them.

All in all, animals have both, good and bad points, but they’ll always share with you their love.
