Dogs make better pets than cats

In my opinion I think dogs make better pets than cats.

First, dogs can do a lot more tricks than cats because dogs can jump up and they can go get the paper for you and dogs bark at robbers if they come on to your lawn.  Some dogs could maybe clean up and dogs are faster than cats but cats just lie around all day.

Another point is that dogs can help people like they can guide blind people. They can help police at the airport to see if the people have bought drugs from overseas.  On some programs dogs help the airport staff sniff out the drugs and when they have found the drugs they sit down and the police come.

Finally, dogs are more playful than cats because dogs play with you a lot more than cats.  Dogs can play games with you like you could try and catch the dog or play tag and you can run around with the dog.   But cats are quite lazy and all they do is lie around in the sun all day.

Therefore I believe that dogs make better pets than cats.
