Many people
keep pets in their houses. Some people are fond of birds, some love beats and
some like fish. Some of these pets are liked for their virtues, some for their
beauty and some
out of pure love for animals.
Rich people keep
dogs of superior breed. The hound, the mastiff and the bull dog are popular
among them. They spend a lot of money for keeping them. They bathe them with
soap, keep them clean and take them out for exercise. Rich food is given to them.
During winter their bodies are covered with warm clothes. Dogs are very
faithful to their masters. They even lay down their lives to save the life and
property of their masters. They are also famous for their watchfulness. These
are the reasons for the wide popularity of dogs as pets.
Cats are also favorite pets of many people. They are very clean in their habits and often
sleep in the same bed and partake of the same food with their
masters. They are very fond of children. They, too, have some usefulness. They
kill the mice and keep worms and insects away from home.
Besides dogs
and cats, the ram, the rabbit, the mongoose and the dear are
also kept as pets. Cows, horses and buffaloes are kept more as useful domestic
animals than as pets. Some people are very fond of birds. The mayna, the
parrot, the cockatoo,
the pigeon, the fowls, and the duck are common pets among birds. Some of these birds
are kept in cases. Pigeons fly about by day, but they come back at night to the
wooden or tin boxes where they are housed. Fowls and ducks are allowed to go
about during day time but they are kept confined at night.
Sometimes fishes are reared in ponds and
tanks. Gold fishes are kept often in glass jars. Visitors take delight when
they see the fish take food and play.
All pets
are very dear to their keepers. They love them and take good care of them.
Long association with pets make them very dear to all members of the family.
Loss or death of any pet brings great grief to its keeper and even makes him
weep and lament for a long time.
