 Comp-04: Having a pet. Pros and Cons

    Pets are really cute. Small hair balls which make funny and silly things. There are really different kinds, from cats to hamsters. But, is having a pet as easy and good as it can sound?

    On the one hand, we have the fact that they can be really beneficial for you. They can accompany you, reducing the isolation feeling, they can increase your self-esteem, they can make you more responsible, etc. Added to this, they are living beings, which will make you create a loving relationship really quickly, becoming part of your own family.

    On the other hand, as I said before, they are living beings, which means that you have to take care of them. They aren´t a cute plushie, they need to be fed, to be washed, they´ll have illnesses and they requiere attention. If you can´t assume this responsability, you shouldn´t have a pet.

    In summary, pets can be beneficial for you, improving your mood and your health. But you have to know that you are taking care of a life, so it requires a big commitment.
