Man’s Best Friends

In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s life. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!

Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the“eyes” for a blind person or“ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happy.

Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you can do this. Why? Firstly, think about how animals make our life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.

Animals can never speak for themselves, so we must protect them. It is also because they have done lots of good deeds for us.
