This bond has existed for thousands of years, though people’s relationship with animals is much different today than it was in the past.

Imagine walking up to your brown old door with a gold, shinny door handle, ready to slide your key in. Click. You open up the door into the darkness. The next thing you hear is woof and meow. The biggest grin is on your face. You are so ready to tell your life story to them. Wagging their tails on your lap, the best feeling is to have your pet sitting right next to you and never wanting to leave. This is how life should be when you own a pet, but sadly it not the way the world works anymore.…

Growing up I’ve always at least had one pet in my life. Most of my pets have been cats. Owning pet is a great experience. I love learning new thing about my pets. Like what type of food they like to eat and what food they don’t like. Also how they sleep and when they sleep. Having a pet is a great way to learn about animals. Pets can also help children learn responsibility. Such as walking their pet, feeding their pet, and cleaning their pet’s area. Pets are great companions; I love the feeling of coming home and my cats waiting for me at the door, it makes me feel like I’m loved. Some pets are great to exercise with. They can make you laugh like when they do little silly things like getting stuck in a blank. You get so use to having them around they become part of the family. When you’re feeling down just having your pet there can make you feel better. Sometimes your pet knows things before you do. Like if it’s going to rain. Even though I love owning a pet, there are times I wish I didn’t have one. This can also be the benefits of not having a pet. There are lots of things you don’t have to worry about when you don’t have a pet. Like when you go out of town you don’t have to find a place for your pet stay. Pet accidents you never have to worry about. If you have a new born baby you don’t have worry about keeping your pet away from the baby. If you friends that are allergic you don’t have to put away a pet or clean up any pet hair. Sometimes pet owner’s home’s can spell because of their pet. But if you don’t have a pet you don’t have to worry about that. You’ll never have to worry about scratched…

Growing up, I have always wanted a puppy. I begged my parents for them to take me to a pet store and buy me a puppy but I could never convince them. I have even written long letters requesting for a pet and a huge essay on why I needed one. It was torture; how my friends always talked about funny and interesting stories they have had with their pets, while I have never even had a pet of my own. However after years of begging, my parents finally gave in. They allowed me to take care of one of their friend’s dogs as a trial to see if I could handle my very own pet. Not only was this task one of the hardest things I have ever done, I was barely able to pull through it.…
