They're Our FamilyIf you don't want to own an animal and care for it, then you shouldn't buy or adopt one. Having an animal is like having a child to care for. You must give it food, water, warmth, shelter, love, and time. If you own an animal, you shouldn't treat it like a piece of garbage, because it's a living thing with feelings just like you do. There are a lot of terrible things going on in the world, but by treating animals correctly and trying to get justice for the animals that have none, you can change the world in little ways.

They Do So Much To Help UsAnimal are not only our companions, but they are our helpers. They help us if we are hurt, emotionally or physically. There are seeing eye dogs and ponies, therapy animals, and even farm animals, like horses, that can help plow fields. An animal can have such a deep impact on our emotions and can help us get through hard times. Veterans like the one in the picture above are sometimes encouraged to get a dog to help them with PTSD or depression.
