There are many reasons for keeping dogs as pets in the city area, but many people feel that keeping pet dogs should not be allowed in the city. Dogs are often not taken care properly. They are kept in small backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in the yard all day by themselves while the family is at work. Very little attention is given to the dog and it is not a very good life for it. It is no wonder why these dogs bark and disturb the neighbours and become a nuisance to the community.On the other hand, not all people treat their dogs this way and why should the people receive a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from dog’s suffer? Dogs can make a lonely person’s life happy or make wonderful playmat E. It can also teach a child responsibility as they not only get to lay with the dog, but also need to exercise, feed, and care for the dog.I feel that we should be allowed to keep dogs in the city, because if it is taken care of properly, dogs can be a great source of pleasure.
