Pets can also be taught many types of tricks and perform them.  Another example, my dogs do tricks for fun, like spin, speak, roll over, and sometimes we give them treats for showing us their cool tricks. Cats and dogs are very curious animals and will follow any little thing they see if they want to find out what they are. When my dogs were puppies they loved to run around the house chasing a laser that we would point. Pets can do many fun activities to entertain people and even to entertain themselves. 

Pets are great to have no matter what, they provide entertainment and keep you healthy. They keep people up on their feet and moving because they use a lot of their attention. So, they beg to be taken on walks or play frisbee or play ball with them and that keeps everyone entertained. Pets can also reduce people’s blood pressure which helps with stress and health problems. Because of that, they can reduce people’s chance of a heart attack or stroke. The quote “a man’s best friend” is accurate, a pet is truly a man’s dearest friend.
