Benefits of having pets and why people own pets

I can only speak from my own experience on this subject. I would say that I have taught my preschooler to be gentle with animals, and to respect them. I also have taught him how to take care of the dogs, because he helps me wash them and fills their water dishes. He is an only child and he loves that he has his friends to play with at home. I like having the dogs at home, because they inform me when people are around our house. They are cheaper than a home security system. I never feel lonely when I have the pets. They give me unconditional love.
