Cassandra's Dog Letter  Dear Mom,

I have shown many responsibilities lately and I believe that I am old enough to have a dog. I know it might not have been a good time to ask for one, since we are in a money situation but I think that a dog would be good to comfort us. Another reason why we should I think a dog would support our lifestyle is that it could become a great help with chores. The next reason why a dog would be the best in our house is that we could care less about protection if the dog could guard our house. The last reason why I think that we should have a dog because in a recent study, 65% of people how have dogs are less likely to be robbed. I hope soon once I explain everything, you will be completely convinced.  I have four main reasons why I want a dog and how it would be useful to us. The first reason why a dog would be helpful around the house is that it could help me with my chores. Our house needs cleaning most of the time and a dog would be a great duster. If you let me get a dog, I will make sure it is a dog that has manners and knows how to help around the house. The next reason why I need a dog is that we could care less about house protection because we could have a dog that is strong and is capable of protecting our home. Another reason why a dog is great for us is that it could relax us and give us a lot of comfort. Dogs are usually a good friend of mankind and all of us could get along pretty well. The last reason why we should keep a dog is that 65% of people are less likely to be robbed. Dogs that have a great responsibility for their owners can be one of the best protection towards our house, instead of those pricy home protectors that supposedly “Give our home the ultimate coverage”. Yeah right. This is why I believe that a dog would be a wonderful part of our life.  I know you have a few concerns into having a dog. I know dogs are a big responsibility but now I am quite responsible. I always finish homework, I do all my chores, and I always do as I told. The next concern that I know you have is that you are allergic to dog fur. I completely understand that part but we can adopt a dog that is hypoallergenic so you won’t sneeze so much when you’re around the dog. Another thing that you might be concerned about is that the dog will smell. I can always clean it up when it does its business. You know much of a clean freak I can be, so that wouldn’t be problem. The last concern I know you will have is that there will be a bunch of vet bills that you will have to pay. Well, Mrs. Zana just told us that there is a very nice and cheap vet in Glendale and we could be one of their patients. I hope that those are all the concerns that you have you have been completely convinced.  To conclude this terribly long letter, I would like to say, now that I am 11, I am a very responsible person now. Unlike the times I was younger, I am completely capable of many more things. Adopting a dog would be a great companion when we are down, a great guard, and a wonderful help around the house. Dogs are also capable of many more things. This dog could change our lives and could make it easier. A dog is what we need. We could use some extra help here. A dog is the best answer.
