Pets are lovable and delightful. The most favored pets are dogs and cats. They are beautiful and clever animals. To care for them can help bring out the humanity in our children and even in us. A dog or a cat can teach us a lot about human nature; they are a lot more like us than some people might think. Many dog owners have said that the animal understands everything they say. So parents who have ever cared for pets are likely to be more patient and understanding with their children, and especially to avoid making rude remarks in the presence of a child.
