my speech
Hi my name is Bella.
Why pets are so important to my family.
Pets are a very important to me and my family because they give me company and love,they keep you calm they clean up after you, they catch pests and they can help us.
I must say that Pets are important because they keep you calm. We have a pet dog cald Patch he keeps us calm by playing with us and a nather thing is he seems calm.
Pets are important because they look after you they give you love and company. My dog patch sleeps with me all the time patch and he pots his headon my lap and liked my elbow .
They help us like guide dogs.
Canines have a positive psychological effect making their owners feel more confident and secure. Blind people with guide dogs are better equipped to set out into the world with their trusted friend.
And they clean up after you and eat scraps- grose.
And a most important thing is that they catch pests. But not all pets catch pests.
Some dogs have heaps of love with you so you should have more courage in your pet.
Because they might seem small but there more then you think they’re Incredible. pets like dogs, cats, fish, rabbit, turtles, parrot, hamsters, mice, horses, pigs, goats, budgies and lambs have ther one reason why there Important .
Now I wont to show you what me and my dog do at home. This is patch my dog Patch and I play tag and usually im always in.
I love patch he is like my brother.
Patch lies in my bedroom when I am in there I dont care about it im just a nice girl named Bella im so lucky to have a dog.
