Everyone should experience having a pet at one point in their life. Having an animal in your home may have many positive attributes. There are positive outcomes of having a pet, or as I like to call a "fur baby" in your home. When you bring in a fur baby you will learn to have compassion. Another wonderful quality to having a pet is you have a full time protector living with you. Being responsible for someone or something other than yourself can change your character. Animals need food, shelter, attention, and love just the ways humans do. A pet will give you constant sincere unconditional love whether you need it or not. Their unconditional love towards you allows you to become compassionate to them as well as to others around you.
