What do you like about a dog?
What I like especially about a dog is that the train one can serve as a protective pets. I also like the way dogs shake their tail when see their owners and they are also intelligent when it is being trained. Dogs are fun, friendly, loyal and ready to sacrifice for their owners even at the point of dead.
