People like to have pets. Pets are animals that live with us for fun and not for work. Many people think pets are cute and smart. Some people also find pets when they are lost and take them home. The animals that are pets most often are dogs and cats. But people also keep other animals. For example, some have rabbits, small animals like hamsters or mice, birds, reptiles like turtles and snakes, and fish. Big pets can be horses and cows. Pets are good for us. They can make us happy and help us to move and meet people. For example, walking with a dog is good exercise and fun. Some pets help people who are alone or very old. There are special pets that go to hospitals to help people feel better. People get pets because they want a friend, want to keep their house safe, or because they think animals are beautiful. Sometimes people do not get pets because they travel, do not have time, or live in a place that is not good for pets. Not many people do not like pets. Pets are very special friends.
