Keeping pets

of them feel lonely and want to have a living

being beside them.
The others earn money raising popular breeds of cats and dogs.
There are also special cases like having a dog to protect your house or to help the blind; picking up sick animals and taking care of them.
But the majority enjoy pets just because they are real fun.
It is great to have such an active and always ready to play friend.
Besides it is an open secret that animals can cure people for many illnesses.

guinea pigs are considered to make good pets

and are still favourite ones, because
they are rather easy to look after,
quite cheap to keep,
and they get attached to their masters indeed.

as pets.



But in my opinion it is not

12. I found it in the yard and brought it

home. I was absolutely happy because my parents allowed me to keep it.
It is a simple mongrel ['mʌŋgr(ə)l] and we call it Jack. It is neither big nor small, coal black and incredibly funny and cute. When it was a puppy it used to be bouncy and noisy, but now it behaves like an adult: it is serious and calm.

chores to walk the dog, feed it, wash its paws,

brush its fur and clear away its dirt. What I really enjoy is to teach it different tricks or just run and jump together.
I believe that we are true friends.
