A Dog is a Person’s Best Friend There are thousands of animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some can be easily domesticated and are friendly; while others are naturally wild and savage.

I know from experience that they are one of the friendliest animals any person or family can have. When I get home my dog always welcomes me. Sometimes when I’m sad she notices it, and she always tries to cheer me up, by playing with me. My most current dog I’ve had is a female Chihuahua, and I got her when I turned nine years old. She has never acted violently towards my family and I; she is still the sweet little dog I got when she was just a little puppy. When I get mad at her and get her in trouble, for doing something wrong, she always lays down, and rolls over so I can rub her stomach.

I remember one time I was just relaxing at, when all of a sudden my dog started to bark like crazy. At first I thought someone was hurting her, so I quickly went and looked out the window, to see what was happening. Luckily, it wasn’t anything serious, it was just my cousin who was picking something up from my backyard garage, but the point is that my dog warned me that something was going. For all I know it could have been a theft or someone dangerous, and she was warning me to do something to protect
