Lilli-Rose's Speech--"Are Pets Beneficial?"

 Are Pets Beneficial?

  Welcome dogs and cats, Oops! I mean boys and girls. My name is Lilli-Rose. I think pets are beneficial, they help us a great deal, and protect us a lot, to be honest, enormously! “Don't you agree?

   Firstly, one of my reasons why is, supporting people.. Guide dogs guide people to where they want to travel or visit and make sure that they don’t get lost. Guard dogs guard people's homes- if a robber comes- not saying they will come, but maybe, we're not sure, if a robber comes then a dog (or dogs) could alert or notify their owners that someone has arrived. And cats help us so much, catching mice and rats. If we had these grubby little pests ruling our homes, think of the diseases they could spread. And that reminds me of a story, once a woman saw a cat by her driveway,  and she brought  her in. And a few weeks later she had a fire and she didn't know, but the cat smelt the burning fumes and alerted her, so now she's alive, just because of that special cat.

Secondly, animals can be beneficial for people’s health. Studies have also found that: Dog or Cat owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets. People with dogs or cats have lower blood pressure in stressful situations. Playing with a dog or cat can elevate levels of serotonin, which helps calm and relax us. Stroking, hugging, or otherwise touching a loving animal can rapidly calm and soothe us when we’re stressed or anxious Dogs in particular can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your heart  condition. Caring for a dog can help children grow up more securely and actively or provide valuable companionship for older adults. I bet your parents would love this one less visits, to the doctors, if you have a pet yaaaaaaaaay.

Thirdly, Children and adults alike, can benefit from playing with dogs, which can be both a source of calmness and relaxation, as well as a source of stimulation for the brain and body. Not only do children who grow up with pets have less risk of allergies and asthma, many also learn responsibility, compassion, and empathy from having a dog or cat. Playing with a dog can even be a doorway to learning for a child. It can stimulate a child’s imagination and curiosity. The rewards of training a dog to perform a new trick, for example, can teach kids the importance of perseverance.

Lastly,  perhaps most importantly, though, a dog can add real joy and unconditional love to your life.

To conclude as you can see I think the whole world makes sense with pets  and their love. care and cuddling and best of all help I hope you have learnt something today! So go and find a pet to cuddle.
