What kind of pet do I want?

The kind of pet that I want is a dog nothing hard and nothing fancy.Why?Because they are so cute and they really like being with their owners.They are warm and then we are playing with them.I heard once in the television that if you have a dog,you don't get depression because they really entertain you so much and watching them really make you laugh because they are so curious!They are like small children that are playing,but instead they are animals that like don't just give up easily.The hard thing about a dog is,taking care of it.We all now that taking care of a dog we have to have a big responsibility and we have to take care of them so they wont die.Also,they like to take a nice bath so they can be clean,but then when they come out from the bath,SPLASH!They make a huge mess and you don't want to clean it up because he did it.You might want to train it to be obedient to you,and you know the tricks that a dog can make.They can roll,give you a paw,and I have heard that some people teach their dogs how to speak,but in dog language!Can you even imagine dogs speaking to their owners or whoever?!The thing that is so sad is that,you can't keep your dogs forever because then when their time comes they die.Well,when I ask my aunt when do they die?She says,"Well,they die when they sleep too much and their hair start to become white." Well I always tell my mom if we can have a dog,but she says no because we live in an apartment and it's too small for it to live there.Well,you know what they say if you be responsible.I hope that one day I can have a dog!The dog is the pet that I want.
