I think dogs are the best pets because they actually make people healthier. First, dogs are loyal animals, so it makes sense that dog owners are less lonely. Lots of people who live alone have dogs. Sometimes their dog is their only friend. Dogs also comfort people when they feel sad. Second, dogs are relaxing. Studies show that owning a dog makes people less stressed. Third, dogs make people exercise. You have to walk a dog, right? So, when your dog walks, you walk, too! Finally, dogs can protect people. Some people use dogs to guard their homes! Everyone should get a dog.
