media type="custom" key="9641086"  “Woof woof woof” goes the dog at the window I looked out the window there was a man walking by. I think dogs are better than cats because dogs are active and healthy animals and I think every one in the world should love dogs and should have a dog.

 My first reason is dogs are more active and healthier than cats because dogs can help you train for something like maybe running a marathon and well cats just lay around. Plus dogs always like to play with you they will like to play anything with you as long as they are with you. Dogs love going for walks because they want to be active.

 My second reason is that dogs make much better pets than cats because dogs are lovable because they are mans best friend and cats like to do their own thing. Dogs are playful you can play anything with them they just want to play, play, play all day long. Well cats lay around. Dogs can be trained they can be trained to do anything.

My third reason is that dogs can be trained to save your life because they might of been trained to be a police dog, rescue dog, search dog. they can also be trained to help the blind, they are called guide dogs. You can train your dog tricks like sit, fetch, down, stay and shake but with a cat you can't train your cat. You can train your dog to go out side to do its "business" but a cat will do it inside.

As I said Dogs are WAY better than cats, because they are more active, they always want to play with you, and they can save your life. So I believe that everyone should have a dog instead of a cat!!!
