Precious Puppies
Anchor Brooklyn :
Hello, and welcome back to Chungling News on channel seven. I’m Brooklyn Frey and today we have found some interesting new news about the cost of puppies and dogs. The price of a dog ranges from 25 dollars up to 3,000 dollars. Sometimes it's even higher. The cost depends on what kind of dog you buy. Adopting a dog from a shelter is much cheaper than buying a dog from a breeder.
Anchor Julia:
(Towards Brooklyn and then Camera) That’s right, Brooklyn. Most new pet owners underestimate how much it really costs to own a dog. Nowadays, it seems that most of them only think about the cost of the dog and it's food. Well they're sadly mistaken. There is so much more to it!
Anchor Brooklyn:
There’s the vaccinations, …show more content…
She’s going to tell us about her expensive buy that costed less over time.
Brody:
Thanks, Brooklyn. Alright, Tessa. What happened when you bought your extremely pricey pooch?
Tessa:
Yes, well, a few years ago I bought my dog Arnold for 2,500 dollars. Arnold was expensive, I must admit, but he came with papers saying that his parents did not have health problems, which is good news. Arnold also came with shots, a crate and a care manual. I was hoping it would mean that there wouldn’t be as many health bills later on and I was right! Of course there were small incidents, like the time Arnold ate a bit of barbecue-cleaning brush, that costed so much money to take care of! That incident alone costed me 1,200 dollars.
Brody:
That’s crazy, Tessa. Now, have you experienced the no-health-problem puppy before? Or have you bought another expensive dog that came with problems?
Tessa:
No, I haven’t yet bought another expensive dog. But I have experienced something like that. I got my last dog, Jake, from a shelter. I bought him for a reasonable price but, in the long run, he ended up costing me a lot of money. More money than Arnold! Jake had injured one knee before I got him, then a few months later, another knee. Surgery and follow-up care for Jake costed $8,000. I mean, he’s my dog so I get a lot of love in return, but paying that much money was …show more content…
Sandy seemed like a great dog. Thank you so much for coming in today and sharing with us.
Lynn:
No problem!
Brooklyn P:
Now, back to you, Brooklyn.
Anchor Brooklyn:
Thanks Brooklyn. Now, besides food and vet care, dogs need fences, carriers, treats and toys. They may need training, dog walking and teeth cleaning. Also on the list are medicines to fight harmful insects like ticks and fleas. Still more costs can come from having to get the carpets cleaned, fix screen doors, and re-create the dug up garden.
Anchor Julia:
Most new dog owners do not realize how much time a dog requires, either. Dogs need training, time with other dogs and people, and whatever it takes to have a good home life. If your dog is unhealthy, the costs will get even higher. Allergies and eye troubles may show up later. These and other conditions could call for expensive care.
Anchor Brooklyn:
Even though dogs can be expensive, as well as the care that they need after their adoption, they are great pets that you can count on to love you like no other.
Anchor Julia:
Well, that’s all for today. We’ll see you next time on Chungling News, Channel
