In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are
talking about a lovely animal-dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs
and other pets can give happiness to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A
few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the "eyes" for a blind person or "ears" for a
deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too.
Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for "visits".
Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the
week. Even if you don't live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, think about how animals make
your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious
food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you don't have a pet, be kind to
animals around you. For example, if you see a dog on the street, don't kick it or throw things at it.
Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an
animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.
