Dogs by Diemecha Hilliard and Jenna Vanliere

Both of us own dogs, so we decided to write about them. Jenna owns two dogs, a miniature schnauzer named Annie and a chocolate laborador retreiver named Charlie. Diemecha owns a pit bull named Princess. We both love our dogs very much.

According to the Petcare Information and Advisory Service web page, studies have shown pets help children to grow up better adjusted. Children have "higher self esteem, improved social skills, and are more popular with their peers." Dogs help releive stress, and they also bring the family together for play time. Pets are very benficial.
