Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Being near a pet, with a lot of people, always has positive and negative effect. There are a few people who do not want to have a close relationship with our pets, treat them as members of our family. But in my own experience, if we do like that,we gain more than lost.
When we are having a pet, it means we are having a great and loyal friend. Let’s take one example. After a hard-working day, I often get stressed and tension. But when I come home, my dog wag its tail and bark to welcome me home. It often makes me feel a bit better. I frequently take my dog to the park near my house. That is the time for me to relax, enjoy the fresh air, and escape from my problems in real life.
Besides, you can learn a lot from taking care of our pets. Throughout a long time taking care of my dog, I know how hard to raise and teach it to do the right things. And it reminds me about my parents, who always take care, stand by me when I need. So, this can also teach us more about responsibility, love, etc.
In contrast, having a pet also brings with itself a lot of troubles. You need to go buying the food when it is hungry, medicine when it is sick. It absolutely takes you a lot of time to take care of them everyday.
