The relationship between pets and kids.

I grew up with pets and this is the genesis of my affinity for them. My first pet was a bird, actually a hen. Nowadays, many homes have pets. In a good number of cases, it is out of necessity to keep tabs on rodents and strangers while many others keep them for companionship. Children have a love hate relationship with pets. One moment they snuggle up to them while the next moment, they are throwing barbs at them. Young boys especially should be taught to treat pets humanely especially those that come from other homes.
