a lot of your time. They are
expensive and they need
regular attention from a vet.
Some people are allergic to
horses.
Dogs are very popular pets.

15− 20 years. They can live in
a house or a flat, but they
need exercise outside every
day. They need regular
attention from a vet. Some
people are allergic to dogs.
Canaries are very pretty birds.
They’re easy to look after, they
don’t need a lot of exercise
