Dogs are better than cats!!!

In my opinion I recommend that dogs are better than cats.

The most important thing about dogs being better than cats is because they help you and people. They also keep your house safe when someone that may be a stranger or a friend comes over and you are not home then they have to go away or call you and ask when you are back. Dogs are also good for tracking burglars and other people trying to put drugs in suitcases or in their pockets. Also dogs can help people that may have problems with their sight or are blind, dogs can help people that are in danger, dogs can get a person if they have a fire.      

Therefore, I think that dogs listen when you ask them to do something because they will do it straight away. If you ask them to go and get the pig's ear (which is a toy ) they will go and get it for you. I also think when dogs need something that is lost they will go and find it with their smell.

I also recommend that dogs are very playful, they don’t kill native birds they don’t even kill a little fly. Dogs will stay with you, they won't tug on the lead or make you have to run ( only if they're trained well.) So now you have heard about dogs are better pets than cats you may be persuaded to get a dog and have it as a pet.

Finally, dogs are better pets than cats so maybe this is what makes you want to make New Zealand a better place.
