Lesson

Imagine not being able to reach a light switch, pick up keys when you drop them, or open a table drawer. Then imagine having a dog that could do all of that and more for you.

As well as being great fun for everyone, dogs can help people with physical disabilities. Dogs can be trained to pick up fallen objects, open doors, and turn on and off lights.

Dogs can also help people who are deaf or have difficulties with hearing. Hearing dogs can alert their owners by touch when they hear different sounds. They can be trained to recognize sounds such as the telephone, a baby`s cries. knock at the door, an alarm clock, or a name. Dogs can even indicate witch direction the sound comes from.

Guide dogs can help owners who are blind or difficulties with seeing. Actually, it`s not the owner who guides the dog. For example, dogs cannot actually read traffic lights the owner decides when to cross the street by listening to the sounds of lights or cars. Howerver, the guide dog will not cross the street if it sees danger.

nice ideas dogs are really helpful. however in my country it is not something preferable. people in my country don't like to keep dogs at home. if they keep them, they don't let them go inside the house. most of the people who keep let them stay outside or in the garden.

I had a dog when i was a child.
I liked she very much, she was so cute.
When i came to outside door of my house, she run out to welcome me and bite me lightly, make fun of me.
But at last, she died, because of eating some poisons that prepared for rats. I feel very sad about that.
