Having a pet

As all the days I was walking down the street, looking the people and thinking of what different thing might happen to me when suddenly I saw a little box lying on the floor, I looked it puzzled and scared because that box had movement; anyway I opened it. I remember the first thing that I feel inside of me, it was pain because I couldn't believe that some people don´t have good feelings for leaving three beautiful puppies on the street without a house and a family, so I took and carried them to my house. I was scared for the reaction of my parents but it was the best reaction ever, because they decided to be their owners and give them all the love that people without a good heart did not do. In most of our houses there is an special pet that make us laugh, enjoy and be beloved, the most common ones are cats and dogs. Sometimes these cute species help to appreciate life and feel a little company. Some of them are alone in the streets and feel that they don´t belong to any place. There are some people that hate this kind of animals and avoid touching or giving food to them, but people who love animals are so happy and proud of helping them. These living beings give us happy moments and a lot of love but every house pet has its own captivation.

Cats and dogs are the most popular home pets. All over the world is known that these animals occupy a space in houses or yards, depending of the tolerance of their owners for maintaining these pets inside or outside the house. People usually choose these beings, because they are more closely to children and some of them are not aggressive, so if you have children you can choose a cute and lovely cat or dog that make you feel secure of the caring of the kids but if you want a pet that look after your house the best choice is a dog like a rottweiler, but you must be sure of having a dog like this one, because it needs a lot of caring and space and rules to respect its owner and not be bitten by it.

Dogs are more interested in their owners than cats. In the everyday we can see dogs showing interest in making their owners laugh, giving their toys for playing a while and also demonstrating their loyalty because dogs are called the man´s friend instead of cats that are usually going out of the house and leave their owners worried , with that expression I mean that cats are more independents than dogs and for that their owners spend more time alone and without the whole love that cats might give them. The main problem of having a pet is how to educate it. The education of animals is important for all the families that have a pet in their houses because in this way the pet know what can and can not do. The main responsible of training and teaching the pet to behave is the owner or proprietor, as he is the principal person that must impose rules to the pet, on the contrary the pet will become in a disaster and a real problem.

Some proprietors tend to be permissive. Owners that are usually avoiding training a pet or that are not really interested in giving rules are called permissive owners. These people are sometimes unhappy with their pets because they are not what they expected and that causes familiar and psychological problems and also the pet suffers, as the owner is not a good one, and the pet start to perceive all the bad treats that permissive owners give to them because of owner`s anger, but there are others that tend to be permissive because they love so much their pets and hate to represent hardness to them, because they think that their pets will feel sad of their owner´s attitude.

People confuse the difference between love and impose rules. In most cases the love to the pets is an important and recurrent reason why people let their pets to behave as they want, because they feel that all their love for their pets is represented as a way of making the pet a member of the family and also treating it as a human, but rules are essentially in the education because pets are not able to behave by themselves in a correct way, they must be taught.

There is no authority in a submissive person. A person that do not have the skill and patient to educate a pet is not going to be a successful owner, consequently, the pet will not respect its owner nor family members, as a result some of these kind of proprietors will get annoyed of having a disrespectful pet and they will punish their pets, probably the relationship with them will be damaged after this episode, provoking distancing between the owner and the pet, sometimes the animal gets depressed.

Bad manners are a synonym of a misbehaved pet . Breeders that are not good guides and do not have a strong temper , increase the bad behaviour of the pet; therefore, these animals will never learn about having a good or correct conduct, because it becomes an habit since they do not have clear the place in the house and rules that they have to fulfill, as the bad behavior of a pet is responsibility of its owner and a pet to be happy needs to be a educated one.

As it was said house pets are the most special animals for people, because they are common in all the houses of the world and all you have to do is to love and to give them the place and the food that they need because they deserve the same treatment that human beings, as they are alive and have the same necessities of human beings and also you have to try to avoid being a permissive owner, for your pet will become in a disaster and you will be unhappy of having a pet that causes too many problems to your life. I hope that many people appreciate animal life, so that they will grow up as a person.
