Nowadays, many families keep a dog, a cat, a bird or a snake as a pet. Some cthat live in big cities are very fond of keeping pets in the house, especially the old, because they always feel lonely at home. Thus, they can see the pets as their fmembers. Keeping pets around them is quite a good way for young parents to educate their children. What's more, pets can a look after the house when there's no one at home. Some of them even say that animals are as good as humans, and they should be r.

    However, others think that keeping pets is not good. They say that animals are noisy, dirty and dangerous. Taking the pets when taking public transport like buses is not so convenient, bother people might hate animals. They think some measures should be taken to stop people from keeping pets in cities and towns.

    I think that it depends on ourselves whether it's good to keep a pet or not. But if one keeps pets, he or she should wash pets rto keep them clean. In my opinion, pets are our good friends. Staying with pets, we shall enjoy happiness and feel relaxed. That is to say, keeping pets helps us to forget our uthings for a moment. What's more, keeping pets lets us learn about life and death. We should love life.
