Pets are our friends. When we are lonely at home or when there is no one to play, pets are there for us.
A pet can be any domestic animal, such as guinea pigs or birds, but most of the time at our homes we have rare dogs and cats as pets.
They are the most mindful pets in the house. That means, they have a lot of feelings and even sometimes talk with us, even if we cannot properly understand their language.
Pets do not only help wipe away our loneliness and are good at playing, but they also provide protection for us, such as when the dogs bark when there is an intruder in the house. So, it quickly attacks to provide protection for the house.
Nowadays, a lot of pet owners leave their pets behind, do not care about them and do not feed them properly.
However, some people who really love animals adopt stray dogs and cats who are left behind and treat them as their pets.
So, it is our responsibility to love, protect and take care of our pets, who make our lives beautiful.
