The first reason why the are great to have is because they get your newspaper or slippers like on the t.v. shows. You can play with them and play catch at parks to make the other people jealous that you have a dog and they don't. The bad thing about a dog is they can have rabies if you don't get there shots. The can also be very mean and try to bite, scratch or hurt you very badly. The second kind of pet that you can have is a cat.
Cats are good pets to have around.
Cats also are always purring if you scratch or hold them just the right way. The bad thing about cats is that they will scratch, bite, hiss or try to hide when you want to hold them or pet them. Cats also make life harder since they need lots of love and attention. If you don't give them what they need they might run out on you and never come back again. Birds are the best pets to have of all time because they are cute, lovable and cool pets to have all time.
