Be it a dog, cat, lizard, rabbit or even a turtle; people will want a pet that will make them very happy, to bond with, and to keep their company all the time. When they first think of the idea of raising a pet they never really contemplate the possibility of doing a bad job. People 's minds tend to be filled with the more of the happy and exciting things around the idea of raising a pet. Just like me, I was 17 years old when I got my first and only pet. My family first stumbled upon my first pet from an old man that my mother knew from the grocery store.

It was my family 's responsibility to care for and train her properly and we failed. Leah peed on the carpet, tore up furniture, and she was not very friendly to anyone.

    652 Words  | 3 Pages

Anton Chekhov, in the late 1800s, wrote the short story “The Lady with the Pet Dog” about a man who views women as an “inferior race” and constantly cheats on his wife until he finds a young lady he truly falls in love with. Joyce Carol Oates’ story, written almost 100 years later, also named “The Lady with the Pet Dog” is about a woman who cheats on her husband with a lover she truly falls in love with. Even with these two stories being very similar as much as having the same title, one can be determined as the better piece.
