Pets

Pets are domesticated animals kept for companionship, enjoyment, or leisure, rather than for work or production purposes. Common types of pets include dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small mammals like hamsters and guinea pigs. The relationship between pets and their owners often involves emotional bonds, and caring for a pet can contribute to the owner’s mental and physical well-being. Pets can provide loyalty, affection, and even comfort to their owners, acting as social companions and helping to reduce stress and loneliness. The practice of keeping pets dates back thousands of years and varies widely across cultures.
