Cats and dogs, what is the better pet?

Over the last couple of weeks we have been working on persuasive writing. The one I have done is on what is the better pet out of cats and dogs.

Cats and dogs, what is the better pet?

I strongly believe dogs are far better pets than cats. Dogs have a lot more uses, are a lot more energetic, are more loved and are a lot smarter.

Firstly, imagine trying to herd farm animals into the yards using a cat! Now imagine trying to herd farm animals into the yards using a dog. Of course it is much easier to imagine the dog one because somewhere around the world it is probably happening right now. So in the farm aspect dogs win by far.

Secondly dogs are a lot smarter than cats. You can teach dogs awesome tricks like how to shake a human's hand! You can also teach them how to go through an obstacle courses, and there are dog training clubs in every major town. But now lets think about the tricks cats can do. At the moment I can't think of any, and I have never seen a cat training club.

Finally, dogs are more loved animals than cats. I did an investigation and dogs won by fourteen to three. I got a quote from a guy called Robbie. He said "dogs are more playful and are more energetic than cats. Also when dogs are puppies they are loved even more. Puppies are probably the most loved animal in the world! Oops I nearly forgot to mention that some people also learn to be nice to a puppy and that means they aren't as grumpy as they normally are!

In conclusion, dogs are far better animals than cats because they are better help on the farm, they are easier to teach tricks to, they are loved more and are more energetic.
