My Speech

 I love my dogs so much. you should to Let me explain: animals are important in my family because they always give love, they can get rid of pests, they can even tell your Emotions crazy rite?

Our dogs are very loved and special in our family. We have 2 dogs, marlowe is a great dane and really big, and minnie is an american bulldog. She is the boss and I always have a best friend to cuddle on the couch. Animals are more intelligent than people give them credit for. 

They can  tell what type of sickness you have and what diseases you have. Dogs are So helpful with everything.

They can help when you're blind as well. Depending on the breed or type. a dog's sense of smell is around 10,000 - 100,000 times  better than ours.

 Dogs can smell cancer. I didn't even know that was possible. The way you treat them they will always kear for you.

 There are different types of breeds and all the different types of breeds are all  different. Some are hunting dogs, there are lazy dogs, even guard dogs and plenty more. 

pets help with sadness and depression and anxiety also with loneliness. Caring for an animal can help Children grow up more secure. Pets also provide valuable companionship for older adults. 

They are really good with people that have mental and physical Disabilities.dogs are funny and playful. Dogs can't tell what you say, they can only tell by your Emotions. 

You have to be responsible with your dog you have to feed it and you always gotta make sure your dog can get to water you have to look after it

If your dog shows any sign of sickness you have to take it to the vet.

You should make sure your animal is always warm. Regular brushing removes excess hair from your dog's hair.you make sure you brush their teeth or give them a chew thing so they have fresh breath and a beautiful smile.

 Just because I'm a huge dog lover  Doesn't make other people's choice  of pets are  less important. 

All other pets are different and loved. Thank you for listening to my speech
