My family has a dog. His name is Rossi. Rossi is a Malecon, which is a mix breed, and he has so much energy. Every day, he's wakes up early and he starts to whine because he wants to go outside for walk. One time when I was out walking Rossi at a local park, he saw a squirrel that he was determined to chase. He yanked on his leash with so much force that I lost my grip. He took off at 50 kilometers per hours, but still couldn't keep up with the sneaky squirrel. It was so funny to watch because the squirrel was so much faster, but Rossi didn't want to give up.
Another thing about Rossi is he loves to eat. He always tries to steal food from the table when nobody is watching. One day, he actually managed to grab a whole chicken off the counter. We found him hiding under the table vigorously chewing away. Although, we were angry that he ate our dinner, we were more worried about him choking on the bones. In the end we couldn't help but laugh.
If you are thinking about getting a dog, here's my advice: Always make sure you have enough time to take care of it. They need a lot attention and love just like people do. Also, be prepared for the unexpected because pets can be full of surprises. And most importantly, give them a healthy diet and make sure they get plenty of exercise. It keeps them happy and healthy for a long time.
