As said earlier, a pet can give you utmost companionship at all times. Your pet, though silent, takes you to another level of friendship. Its just being there seems enough for you. For someone who lives alone, pets can be a solace. Children and old people who are often alone at home can have a good time with their pets.

像我之前说过的，宠物会一直陪伴着你。尽管不会说话，但给你的是另一层的友谊。对你来说也会足够。对那些独居的人来说，宠物是你绝好的慰藉。经常独自在家的孩子和老人可以和宠物一起度过美好时光。

2. Keep you active

无论是慢跑还是去公园散步，宠物都可以一直陪着你。如果你想外出，就带它们一起出去好了，宠物会让你一直保持活力哦。

3. Help build character

培养性格

A pet needs to be taken care of. It needs to be bathed, groomed, fed and there are other such responsibilities that you need to look after. All this will help you in character building, as you will not only learn to do these lovely things for your pets, but in the long run also learn to take up responsibilities on your own. Children can be taught discipline, responsibilities and organizational skills by handling pets.

宠物需要照顾。你要给它洗澡，打扮，喂食以及其他类似的照料。这些都能培养你自己的性格，你不仅可以学到如何照顾自己的宠物，还能逐渐学会如何照顾好自己。在照料宠物的过程中，孩子能学会自律，责任以及组织技能。

4. Teach you patience

培养耐性

Handling all these responsibilities also makes adults and old people cultivate patience. Bathing your pet, grooming it, feeding it, all require lots of patience. Thus, having a pet makes you responsible as well as a calm and patient person.

这些责任还能培养成年人以及老年人的耐性。给宠物洗澡，打扮，喂食都需要大量的耐性。所以，养宠物不仅能让你更有责任感，还能让你更加平和和有耐性哦。

For old people, having a pet is a relief as sometimes they pour their hearts out to these silent souls. Pets can help to relieve the boredom, loneliness and stress that is common among aged people and be wonderful companions. Pets reduce the chances of old people going into depression. They even help to improve their health if they are going through any emotional trauma.对老年人来说，把自己的身心投注到这些小动物身上也是一种释放。宠物能减少老年人常有的烦恼，孤独感以及压力，是绝佳的陪伴者。还能减少老年人患抑郁症的风险。甚至还能帮助老年人从精神创伤中恢复，变得更加健康。
6. Help in making friends6。交到更多的朋友

Owning a pet makes you do activities such as taking it to the vet, going for a walk, etc. Thus, you get to meet other pet owners and end up asking queries to each other about your pets. In this way, you make acquaintances who then gradually become your friends.有了宠物，你就会经常带着它去宠物店或者散步啦。这样你就能遇到其他的宠物主人，互相询问关于宠物的情况。这样，你就能和那些经常碰头的主人们成为好朋友啦。
