Nadiyah's+why+I+should+have+a+dog+essay

February 12, 2009 Dear Mrs. Nakashian,

I strongly suggest that you keep the two dogs that your son found. Just think about it, if you are ever lonely you have two dogs that will always be there for you. Sure there are some bad things about having dogs but there are a lot of good things too. Like I know that it’s a pain having to wash dogs, but think of it this way whenever you take care of the dogs they’re going to repay you. They will comfort you and protect you. Yes you do have to pay for their food and vaccinations and all that stuff but you can find places that can offer you that for good prices.

There are many good reasons why you should keep the dogs. First of all they will love and cherish you all the time, they will help you when help is needed, and they will protect you with all their hearts. When you have nothing to do you can always play with them. When you are scared or lonely they will be there. You know, dogs are really good pets.

I know you may think that there are a lot of bad things about having a dog, but there are ways of solving them. If you think that washing them is a pain make it fun, by scrubbing their belly and tickling them. Maybe you don’t like taking them for walks but think of it this way you will get your daily exercise. If you don’t have enough room you can put them in your back yard or a bathroom that you don’t use. Also if you don’t like picking up their “presents” just teach them how to leave it in a certain place because dogs are really smart. Whatever they do wrong they don’t mean to get you mad.

In conclusion having dogs aren’t as bad as you think. I mean sure they are a lot of hard work but it pays off. ­­­­­­ They will love you and care about you. They can help you with things. Sure there are some bad things but if you think of it there are more good things than bad things. So please, please think real hard about you decision.

Sincerely, Nadiyah P.S: Think about it real hard( NO pressure)
