What is good about having a pet? To me, having a pet is a good thing. I have had a muskrat named Harry when I was 8 years old. I won Harry as a prize during the year of 1973. I was elated because I had him for four years. Pets are very friendly. It also means that pets have our scent. I remember when my dog saved my life because I was inside of a sink hole and I was doing to drown. I told my dog Midnight to pull me out. He did pull me out and I showed him love for several years. Midnight was a Chow Chow mix. He loved me because I trained him. He knew my voice. Spot was a Golden Retriever. He was my best friend. Spot loved to walk at night.
