Have you ever heard of a dog being a man's best friend before? Well, lots of people probably have. Animals, especially one's pets, sort of give human beings a comfort that's unexplainable in my opinion. They often help humans physiologically with being lonely. Old people and growing children in particular probably get the most comfort out of having a pet. Old people's well-beings aren't really that important because they have lived long enough to not even need a sense of comfort in their lives, but having a pet may comfort them if they have a lost one or it may make them an active person. Like, having to walk a dog is being active. For growing children, pets have the effect of making them more mature. You would rather your child grow up with a pet rather than to be an antisocial child or hooked on technology. It teaches them a sense of responsilibity and playfulness. Does your pet give you some type of comfort? How does caring for your pet effect your everyday life?
