Head to head
Is it a good idea to keep pet dogs? Emma and Matt give their opinions on this matter.
Keeping pet dogs is a good idea, says Emma
Keeping pet dogs is a good idea. There are lots of reasons for this.
First, dogs are really cute. It’s nice to hold them in our arms, and it’s wonderful to see them grow up.
Second, we can learn responsibility from keeping dogs. We have to feed them, train them and play with them. According to my mum, this helps us become more responsible people.
Young people can learn how to care for others by keeping dogs.
A dog will love you faithfully and bring you lots of happiness for many years.
So I think it’s a good idea to keep pet dogs.

Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea, says Matt
It’s not a good idea to keep pet dogs.
Pet dogs leave their hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed often.
Dogs are noisy. Nearly all dogs bark at strangers. Some dogs bark more loudly than others. A few dogs bark all night. This stops people from getting any sleep. Not all dogs are friendly. A small number of pet dogs even attack people.
What’s more, it’s common for people to live in flats. They have no choice but to keep their dogs in small spaces. However, dogs need fresh air and large open spaces where they can run free.
Finally, owning dogs can be expensive.
So keeping pet dogs is not a good idea.
