for a long time because they comfort and ertain us.
Research has shown that keeping pets helps reduce stress
and anxiety.[SUPPORTING DETAIL] There is nothing
more soothing than coming home from a stressful day to
have our pets greet us at the door.[EXAMPLE] Keeping
pets also teaches us how to be caring and responsible for
others. Keeping a pet is a big responsibility yet rewarding at

lonely.[CONCLUDING SENTENCE]
