　　Pet Traditions

　　Why do Westerners love their pets so much, almost as if they were their children? I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many children’s books in English and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child, and my wife and I read some of the same animal stores to my boys when they were small, and now they read animal stories to their children. Some are the same stories about dogs and cats and rabbits and horses. So children in America grow up with good feelings toward animals.

　　Many families would like to have a purebred dog or cat, that is an animal whose parents come from a single kind of animal. But purebred animals are expensive. And those which are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a family’s first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a humane society which cares for animals that are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years may wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost.

　　But some families do not want a house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or a cat. So the animal stays outside the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder parts of North America.

　　Advertising is necessary as a means of selling products. A product will not sell well if no one knows about it, no matter how good it is. Advertising is the best method of telling large numbers of people about what a business firm has for sale.

　　In talking about advertising, one should not describe it only in terms of advertisement in newspapers or on TV. In its widest sense, advertising includes a lot of other activities such as holding exhibitions and displaying products in show windows. Advertising is also a source of information for consumers. Through an advertisement you can learn what product is available, where to buy it, and how much it costs. Sometimes you can learn the features of different brands of a product. You can also learn how to use and care for it.

　　People usually think that the aim of a manufacturer is merely to produce goods. Nowadays, more and more people have come to realize that production of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price. We now live in a world of keen competition. It is essential that we go out trying to sell what we have on offer. In this respect, advertising plays an important role.
