Jaime's - Pets

Alot of people have pets or have had pets. Pets are like our best friends and depending on the person , changes the connection. Some people have fish as pets but don't really have a connection with them. Other people with other pets such as dogs have a bigger connection because they play and take care of them. I have only had fish as pets and once my sister had mice and the mice were fun to play with because you can just watch them move around and let them crawl on you. I suppose thats a typical pet , there are people who do have more unique pets such as monkeys or tigers and many other types of animals. There is a celebrity that I once heard of that had a pet tiger, but I think that the more dangerous animals share a smaller connection with a human because there is a limit to how close the person can get. I can't really explain in detail about how strong a connection between his or her dog or cat is like because I have never had one but I'm pretty sure that they are almost like human friends. Some people even feel sad if there pet dies just like if a relative of theirs dies. So if this is the case then why do certain people abuse their pets. People have pets because they want the companionship and if people are beating them then whats the person of having a pet. Some pets aren't really thought of as companions, but as just as things that people owned. For example, the tiger that the celebrity that I mentioned had would be a perfect example because the tiger doesn't show care or loving to the person, but is just for show. That is why I believe pets are important in human life because they provide friendship to anyone.
