It seems every child longs for a pet. Whether it is a dog, cat, bird, hamster, lizard, or fish, having a pet teaches children wonderful life lessons. Through having a pet, a child can learn responsibility, affection, gentleness, and respect for other living beings. In return the pet makes a wonderful companion and gives the child a relationship filled with many hours of joy. Studies have also shown health benefits linked to owning a pet. However, the child may get something from the pet which isn't enjoyable - an infection.
