The relationship between human beings and animals

People keep pets for different reasons. As for some adults, playing with their pets is their favorite form of relaxation after a day’s hard work. As for children, it seems there are no better friends or companions they can find than a funny-looking dog or a clever cat, for they take a fancy to animals by nature. Through their contact with animal, children learn how to take care of those dependent on them, which helps them develop a sense of responsibility and cultivate their patience as well. However, for a few people, keeping pets is an ostentatious display of their wealth. By owning an expensive dog or bird, they intend to show off to others how wealthy they are.
