OWNING A DOG
Brendan's best friend is Tip. Tip and Brendan are inseparable. They teach each other things and they look
after each other. Tip has helped Brendan become more responsible, more caring, and a better friend. Brendan
is a nine-year-old boy, and Tip is a ten-year-old dog. Brendan and Tip are an example of how owning a dog
can have a positive effect on a child's development. Having a dog develops a child's sense of responsibility,
broadens his capacity for empathy, and teaches the nature of friendship.
Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the
animal's daily needs. The dog must be fed and exercised every day. A dog is completely dependent on its
owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. Therefore, being
responsible for a dog also means taking care of the dog so that it stays healthy. Furthermore, the owner must
take responsibility for the safety of the dog and the safety of the people it comes into contact with. If the child
forgets any of these duties and responsibilities, or ignores any of the dog's needs, the dog will suffer. This
teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire to play with his toys, talk on
the phone, or watch TV. This is true not only for the care of a dog, but also for the care of oneself, another
person, or one's job. Learning how to take responsibility for the health and welfare of a dog leads to learning
how to take responsibility for oneself.
Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is how to be empathetic. Empathy is the ability to put
oneself in another person's, or in this case another creature's, situation and imagine that person's or creature's
feelings or problems. A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn how to interpret its
behavior. The child must learn to understand what the dog's behavior means. Is the dog frightened,
aggressive, or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dog's mind. Understanding a
situation from the dog's perspective helps the child understand why the dog is behaving in a certain way and
what the dog needs. The result of learning to read a dog's behavior is that the child develops empathy. By
learning how to empathize with a dog, the child also learns how to empathize with other people. This leads to
the child becoming a more considerate and caring person.
Being considerate and caring are important characteristics in a good friend. One of the most significant
benefits of owning a dog is the example of true friendship that a dog provides. A dog gives unconditional love
to its owner. A dog will not stop loving its owner because of a little anger, indifference, or neglect. The dog will
wait patiently for its owner to pat its head and say a few kind words. This acceptance of the negative qualities
and appreciation for the positive qualities of its owner provide a wonderful model of how to be a good friend. A
child soon realizes that his dog will always listen to him, will always be ready to play with him, will always
protect him, and will always forgive him. A child who has learned to be even half as good a friend to others as
his dog is to him will have learned one of the most valuable lessons in life.
These are some of the most important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits of owning a dog will last the
child's entire lifetime. The understanding and appreciation of responsibility, empathy, and friendship that a child
develops from the experience of having a dog will help him or her grow into a reliable, caring, and mature
adult.
