owning a dog in Chicago and my hometown

Owning a dog in Chicago and my hometown
It’s said that dogs are human’s best friends. Nowadays, more and more people like owning dogs. However, people have different opinions about dogs, and they treat them in different ways. There are many differences between owning a dog in Chicago and my hometown. People have different opinions, purposes of owning dogs and ways of treating dogs.
People in Chicago and my hometown have different opinions of dogs. In Chicago, people love and protect dogs. In their opinion, dogs are their friends or family members, and they get on well with dogs. In my hometown, few people know the importance of protecting dogs, even the owners of dogs. They think dogs are low and cheap, so they will never value their lives. Moreover, some people harm and kill dogs, and some people eat dog meat. It’s a very terrible and bad behavior.
People in Chicago and my hometown have different purposes of owning dogs. In Chicago, many people like owning dogs because they think that dogs are like their friends who can accompany them at home at any time. Moreover, many people want to own a dog instead of having a child. In my hometown, most people don’t really like dogs. You never see dogs in city, but you can see dogs everywhere in the villages. Though many people own dogs in the village, they don’t take good care of them. In fact, they don’t like dogs, and they just take dogs as gate keepers. Or some farmers would like the dogs to catch mice in their fields. In addition, some people own dogs in order to make money. When the dogs grew up, people will kill them, and cook dog meat so as to sell them for money.
Finally, people in Chicago and my hometown treat dogs in different ways. In Chicago, people regard them as kids. They feed them on rich food, and buy some snack for them. Some owners like dressing up dogs in clothes, and help them take a bath everyday because they will sleep together. If the dog is ill, they will take it to see a doctor or psychiatrist. The owners enjoy staying with their dogs, and they walk their dogs outside every day. On the other hand, people in my hometown don’t treat dogs well. The dogs don’t have good food to eat, and they just eat what their owners don’t like at all or they want to throw away. The owners will never help them dress up in clothes. If the dog is ill, they are unwilling to take it to see a doctor because it cost money. Moreover, they spend a little time taking care of them. The dogs are often dirty because they just help them take a bath one or two times a month. Therefore, they don’t allow the dogs into the house, and the dogs sleep outside in all seasons.
Dogs have different lives in Chicago and my hometown. I think people in my hometown should study from people in Chicago about how to get on well with dogs. People should have a good relationship with dogs because dogs are really human’s friends, and they help people a lot. I hope that there will be more and more people loving and protecting dogs in my hometown in the future.
