dog

A dog is a common pet that people keep in their homes.

You might see dogs being walked on leashes by their owners or running around in parks and backyards. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes. Some breeds are super friendly and love meeting new people, while others can be a bit shy or even fierce. People keep dogs for companionship and exercise - it's not uncommon to see someone throwing a ball for their dog to catch or playing fetch with their furry friend. Many families have dogs as part of the family, and kids often help take care of them by feeding, walking, and giving treats.
