In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them medical exams so that they won’t carry disease . They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder on the tall tree in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcome to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and you can enjoy many kinds of beautiful birds at the windows. Nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.

    People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family members are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own living. Then the old parents will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
