Birds are the best pet anyone can have is because they are cute any soft. This is the only animal that can actually talk back to you so when your pet you actually don't look like your crazy or something. My grandmother had a bird once and she said that it was her favorite animal she ever had. Also, birds make beautiful music and you can fall asleep to them chirping. Another reason why they are the best is because you really don't have to pay much attention to them they can be left alone for a while. Also, it is really easy to take care of them and you don't have to clean there cage every day and that is why birds are awesome! -Cindy Piascik

There are few people who have ever said they would not want a monkey as a pet. They are the most human-like animal on the planet, which means they could easily show affection towards the owner, and can easily show what they want or need. My grandmother’s neighbor back when she lived in Philadelphia owned a monkey. She says that the monkey was the cutest thing she ever saw and that it was unbelievably friendly. The fact that monkeys can act so human like and easily display their emotions makes them the perfect pet. -Jake

When I was younger I had a goldfish, and it really was the easiest thing to take care of – even for an 8 year old. All you have to do is clean their bowl and feed them. They’re also calming to watch, and they make the mood of the room better. They’re an ideal pet to have if you have allergies to fur, seeing as how they have none. They can also be very pretty, and have there are many different types of fish. All of that being said, I think we can all conclude that fish are the best type of pet to own. -Julie Houghton

Dogs are the best pets anyone can have because of many reasons. Dogs are easy to train, which means you can teach them how to do certain things easily like how to sit, roll over, and potty train. They are fun to play with, you can never ge bored playing with a dog because you can do so many things with them like play cacth or frisbe and also because they are so energetic unlike cats. They can protect you, which is a good thing if you live in a bad place they can scare off robers. They can help people like for example a blind person uses a dog as a gide so he knows when to walk and where he's going. My mom used to own a dog when she was young. she said that she never got bored of her dog and she said that dogs were so cute and protective animals. I think dogs are the best pets anyone can have. -Vikash Shah

I have owned a cat all of my life and they are by far the best pet to own. They aren't annoying & are easily house trained. They are very affectionate so if your ever feeling down they are always there for you. They scare mice away so you never have to worry about that & they are so little and cute. Cats are very independent creatures. They clean themselves, they are loyal, they do not eat very much and they sleep all the time. Also they can entertain themselves with their toys when you don't have the time to play with them. You don't have to worry about rushing home to let them go out to go to the bathroom because they have a liter box, which makes cats by far the best pet you can possibly own. -Gabby Arguelles Lizards are the best pets for many different reasons. They don't take a lot of responsibility, so they're a good first pet for your kids. They don't demand attention, they sleep all the time, and they aren't that messy. They live in their own cage, so you don't have to house train them. They live for a long time so they'll be your companions for life! -Carly Brown
