Many families are made to themselves pets. These are cats, dogs, rodents, parrots, aquarium fishes and even reptiles and insects! Why do people get pets why they need to care for someone?
All modern pets occurred from wild ancestors. People tamed them with a definite purpose: for the sake of meat, milk, wool, down, used as the vehicle, for protection, etc. Now many of pets do not bring any material benefit (not purebred cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, parrots, aquarium fishes, domestic mice and rats), but people all the same bring them to the house. For what purpose?
Presence of the living being is pleasant to fans of animals nearby. It is interesting to it to play with the pets, to watch their behavior. The pet helps the owner to calm down - it is worth stroking the fluffy friend, to look in his devoted eyes as all problems recede into the background. Owners of a dog spend on the street much time, the dog needs to be walked at least twice a day. On walks they communicate with other owners, bring new acquaintances, and sometimes find the soulmate who shares their views.
Owners of other pets talk to various forums and in clubs. Also fluffy and feathery friends in some way raise children. By means of them the child becomes a little closer to the nature, learns to care for weaker being, learns bases of admissible borders at communication. The dog can accompany you and children on walks in the evening.
However the term "pets" means not only dogs or cats, but also the pets bringing material benefit. The people living in the villages support hens, cows, goats, geese, pigs, sheep. Owners receive milk, wool, meat, eggs from them, swelled. However and such pets, unusual to city dwellers, can be pets for the owners and their children. It is considered that owners of animals live longer and feel loneliness less often.
Care and responsibility do human life organized, do not allow it to be lazy. The case when the lonely woman dying from cancer got up from the mortal bed is very indicative, having regretted the cats asking food. Then she told the surprised doctors that, having fed pets, she decided to clean after them, and zakhlopotatsya as a result and decided to wait with death. Such case is for certain not single - animals sensitively react to mood and the state of health of the favourite owner.
Not everyone has means or an opportunity to bring to themselves the favourite: it can be financial or housing problems, an allergy. But if such opportunity is, once itself gets a devoted being - it will present you many positive emotions.
