I. READING ( 5 points )

Many people who are looking to get a pet dog get a puppy. There are many reasons why people get puppies.
After all, puppies are cute, friendly, and playful. But even though puppies make good pets, there are good
reasons why you should consider getting an adult dog instead. When you get a puppy, you have to teach it how
to behave. You have to make sure that the puppy is housebroken so that it does not go to the bathroom inside
the house. You have to teach the puppy not to jump up on your guests or chew on your shoes. You have to train
the puppy to walk on a leash. This is a lot of work. On the other hand, when you get an adult dog, there is a good
chance that it will already know how to do all of the previously mentioned things. Many adult dogs have already
been house broken. Many adult dogs will not jump on or chew things that you do not want them to jump on or
chew. Many adult dogs will be able to walk on a leash without pulling you to the other side of the street. Puppies
also have a lot of energy and want to play all of the time. This can be fun, but you might not want to play as
much as your puppy does. Puppies will not always sleep through the night or let you relax as you watch
television. On the other hand, most adult dogs will wait on you to play. What is more, they will sleep when you
are sleeping and are happy to watch television on the couch right beside you. There is one last reason why you
should get an adult dog instead of a puppy. When most people go to the pound to get a dog, they get a puppy.
This means that many adult dogs spend a lot of time in the pound, and some never find good homes. So if you
are looking to get a dog for a pet, you should think about getting an adult dog. They are good pets who need
good homes.
