Dogs should not be kept as pets:

Dogs should not be kept as pets because they require a lot of emotional commitment. Dogs are living
beings too; they require the same care that a baby requires, from regular bathing, grooming, and
physical activity Dogs are also costly to maintain, so at times owners let go of their pets, causing
them the mental strain as well. Not only that, dogs have specific needs such as having enough space
to play around in, maybe some health issues, and proper training. With time, the owners start
considering their dog as a part of the family, and since dogs do not live for long, their death leaves
the owner in sadness.

Dogs should be kept as pets:

Dogs are excellent pets; they are loyal and provide their owners with unconditional love and
companionship. Dogs can be trained properly to take care of people with special needs, such as
people who get seizures, mobility issues and also for emotional support. Dogs require physical
activity regularly, in turn helping their owner’s physical health as well. They also provide protection
to the owners. Just playing with dogs and spending time with them, going on walks with them,
rubbing their heads, gives the owners enough serotonin to bring a drastic change in mood.
