Many people believe that dogs should not be kept in large cities. They say that pet dogs should be banned because they are dangerous to man since they carry diseases and that they attack people especially young children. (1) For example, they eat large quantities of food that could go to feed the poor and the starving of the world. What's more, many people spend large amounts of money on their dogs, even buying them beds and toys,taking them to doctors when they are sick, burying them in pet cemeteries when they die. (2)
However I disagree with these arguments. Many animals carry diseases not just dogs. In fact people carry more dangerous diseases than dogs. (3) And if they are it is because they have attacked or frightened the dog. As for money spent on dogs, what people do with their money is their own business. Finally there will always be the poor in the world.
Let us now look at why dogs are good animals. (4) They can also help the police to search for drugs and explosives (炸药). In addition, dogs are able to save people's lives after an earthquake when they are buried under fallen buildings. What's more, dogs are used to protect property (财产) as well as women and children. (5)
For all these reasons I believe that pet dogs should not be banned from cities.
