Do dogs make better pets than cats?
ReplyDeleteWe are discussing whether or not dogs are making better pets than cats. Some people, argue that dogs are better pets than cats. On the other hand, everyone else believes that cats are better pets than dogs.
Everyone knows that dogs are better pets than cats ‘as they are a man`s best mate’ and they can be really fun to play with. I suggest dogs are better than cats since they fetch bones, squishy toys and are good at playing catch. Many dog owners have commented about how they love their little cute puppies and dogs.
I’ve always asked my parents if I could get a dog but unfortunately, my parents said no. Sad!
On the other hand, the vast minority of people, believe that cats are better than dogs as they are so adorable and can be very funny. I also agree. In addition, people just really appreciate how their cats eat all of the dirty, horrible and filthy mice/rats from beautiful gardens. To be honest, a few months ago, a few cats visiting our garden from behind the house had devoured a whole rat nearby.
After looking at some research … DOGS are more popular than cats!!!!!!!!! I thought that cats would be more popular because they are so cute.
