   Wild animals can take care of themselves. But pets need special care. You can learn much about animals by taking care of a pet. Qwning a pet is almost like having a kid. You must think about what your pet needs. You have to give it food and water and a safe home. You must teach things to your pet and love your pet. If you do all these things well, you will have a healthy pet.

   Some people like dogs best. They give them food, water and beds to sleep in. Dogs love to take walks. Most dogs can learn tricks, like catching a ball, rolling over and so on.

   Most children like cats best. They like to play with them. Cats like sleeping very much so they spend much time on sleep. When people keep cats as pets, they don’t have to look for food themselves and some of them are even scared of mice now.
