think that they can be dangerous and can be the cause of many health related issues. I personally consider that having an animal at
home
can be the reason of many diseases. In
this
essay, both sides of the topic will be discussed with illustrations. Domestic animals can harm the children at
home
because we cannot predict the mood of an animal. For an example, people normally have

from any intrusion.
Moreover
