Pets: Good or bad? Having a pet can be fun and enjoyable. But is keeping pets a good or a bad thing?

Pets can be good company for people who live alone and for children who always enjoy having a cat or a dog to
play with. What is more, having a dog around the house makes people feel safe. Also, children learn to become
more responsible by taking care of a pet.

On the other hand, It is not always easy to have a pet. Many people get a pet without realizing the money and
time they have to spend in order to keep it happy and healthy. Moreover, pets need care and attention
everyday and they may feel lonely when their owners work long hours or travel a lot.

All In all, having a pet is a great experience. However, people should be absolutely sure that they have the time
to take proper care of their pet before they get one.
