Tony and Jane give their opinions about keeping pet dogs.
Keeping pet dogs is a good idea, says Tony
I think people should be allowed to keep pet dogs. There are lots od reasons for this.
First, dogs are really cute. It’s nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms, and it’s wonderful to see them growing up quickly.
Second, your dog might not be dangerous but by simply barking(吠)he can keep away a burglar(窃贼)who might think of entering your house.
Finally, we can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect(尊重)all living things by keeping a pet dog.
I think keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy.
