  6. Which would be the best breed of dog or cat for you to own, why?

Question 1

Companionship is probably the best advantage. You never feel lonely with a dog or cat around. Protection is another good reason. Loud barking dogs will scare away burglars. It's like an alarm.

Question 2

Shedding! The hair is everywhere. Our Dyson vacuum fills with hair every week we have to empty the cat and dog hair.

Question 3

The first family dog we had was Quennie. She was a Springer Spaniel. She was an amazing duck hunting dog. My Uncle Russel named her. She came from a litter of his dog.

Question 4

She was very protective of the family. She was also a great hunting dog. She was also bred and had a litter of five.The puppies were born outside of my home. One of them got stuck and died. My dad tried his best to save him.

Question 5

Yes, we have a dog named Lucy, who is a rescue dog from America. We also have a cat named neko-chan. He is a rescue from our neighborhood in Ikaruga. He was injured badly. My wife took him to the vet in Osaka and they operated on his arm. He is ok now and enjoys being a part of our family.

Question 6

I think it would have to be a Jack Russell Terrier. I had one when I was living in Boston. She was incredibly smart and loved to play fetch. They also have a nice temperament and are good with kids. Lucy is a Rat Terrier mix. She is similar to a Jack Russell.
