My Pet

We have a pet in our house. It
is a dog. My brother adopted him after
our first pet dog died. My dog is a male.
He is a cross breed of German Shepherd
and a street dog. His name is ‘Roger’. We
named him Roger because we liked that
name. The meaning of Roger means ‘Yes’.

He is medium in size and black in
color. He has triangular ears and a pointy
face. He eats rice, vegetables and meat at
lunch and dinner time. He eats biscuits
or bread for breakfast and snacks. He
likes to play with his ball and he loves to
play fetch.

I also taught him two tricks. He
sits when I snap my finger above his
head. When I show him a treat and ask
him to turn around he turns around. We
bathe him once a month. We take him to
the vet for check up and routine vaccines.
We comb his hair once every two days.

Sometimes he makes the house
messy and breaks my toys. But he is quite
well- mannered in front of the guests. He
barks and alerts us when a new person
enters our house. My brothers take him
for a walk every morning and evening.
We all love him and take good care of
him.
