I think dogs are better than cats because they are more playful than cats, will cuddle you, and dogs also respond when you call them, unlike cats who just ignore you. Also, dogs save lives.

One of my favorite things about a dog is hoe playful they are. Dogs love to have fun ie: casing balls, fetching sticks, and they also love car rides. Unlike lazy cats who hate all contact with humans and just sleep all day.

Dogs can also save lives because of their senses being way more sensitive than mine and yours, studies have shown that dogs can sense little changes in your body letting them know when you are sick. Also police dogs, fire dogs, and search and rescue dogs save millions of lives yearly. Your own dog could even protect you from a home intruder.

In conclusion, dogs are better than cats because they are more playful, give you attention, cuddle you and maybe even save lives


I am aiming to improve my writing in the following 3 areas: spelling, sentence structure, and Vocabulary. I will use words I know to improve my spelling. I will focus on my paragraph writing for better sentence structure.

Next time I will slow down my writing, focus more, and plan ahead of time.
