A: What a cute dog! I want to keep a pet dog. But I am unable to have one.
B: Why?
A: My parents. They think keeping a pet will waste my time.
B: They are right. Don't you know how much time you will spend on it?
A: But keeping a pet can drive away my. My parents are so busy with their work that nobody stays with me most of the time. Also, the pet can lower my stress and offer me a lot of fun.
B: I'm quiteto you. Because the pet foods often have more vitamins than human foods, the pet ownersneed to pay much on them. It's reported that the people in Britain spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, not to mention（提及） other costs, like animal clothes and medical care.
A: For most of animal lovers, it's not a big deal.
B: But It's hard for me to understand. And I'm reallyabout a piece of news. An old man doesn't care about his children but leaves all his money to his dog. Think about what the money can do for the hungry and the poor.
A: Maybe the old man lives only with his dog. He regards it as his family.
B:everyone has his own idea, I don't think the old man made the right decision. There's another problem. Because of the petcarelessness, the pet dogs leave the mess in public places. It pollutes the environment. Even some children gotby the pets that run freely on the streets.
A: You are right. Recently, I heard a rule that no pets can run free on the street9:00 pm.
B: It's a good rule. Anyway, think twice if you keep a pet.
A: OK. I will. Thanks for your advice.
