Some are pets, offering him companionship; some give protection, and some do hard work which man cannot do for himself. Others, unfortunately, are kept as food. Dogs, which serve man in all four capacities(Korea and China are big dog eaters), are found in various breeds(品种)in all countries of the world. The Husky can live in the cold polar regions, and the Saluki is a1 home in the hottest parts of Central Africa. The inhabitants of certain countries are dependent for their very lives on the camel. In the West Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying heavy loads even in mountainous places, is a familiar sight.

Some people feed a pet dog or cat on left-over food, and then wonder why the animal seems listless(倦怠的)and dull.

Containers for food and water must be washed regularly if the animal is to maintain good health.
    Even well-cared-for animals may sometimes fall ill. If this happens, the wise master seeks the best advice he can get. All sorts of medicines and treatments are available for sick animals, and in some countries organizations exist to provide them free or at a cheap price. Useful, friendly and hardworking animals deserve to have some time, money and attention spent on their health.
