I have a super adorable and loyal four-legged friend, and his name is Mike.
Mike is a one-and-a-half-year-old grass dog. Adored and well cared for by everyone, he's quite big. He can easily stand up and put both front legs on my shoulder.
Mike's whole body is covered in soft, golden fur, with lighter shades underneath his belly and chest. Moreover, Mike is quite chubby, so when you pet and hug him, it feels better than hugging a teddy bear. Knowing that everyone likes to hug him, he's very clean, never playing in dirt, always playing in the yard and sleeping on the mattress mom bought.
Mike's head is as big as my textbook, with a wet, black nose, sparkling black eyes, and ears always standing straight. When he looks at me, then scrunches his nose, I can't help but get mad. With his large size, Mike's four legs are also very big. It's like my wrist. Below are sharp claws, making Mike look very majestic. Combined with sharp teeth, anyone who comes to our house has to be cautious of him. However, for everyone at home, Mike is always a well-behaved big baby. To read Mike's mood, just look at his tail. His tail is as long and big as a feather duster. The faster he wags his tail, the happier he is. If his tail is tucked down, it means he's sad and pitiful.
Mike is very well-behaved. Knowing that people are busy, he knows how to play by himself. Mom said he shouldn't go outside, so he just plays in the yard, and he only goes out if someone takes him. When someone comes to our house, Mike will bark to call everyone out. When he sees mom and dad welcoming the guests, he stops immediately. When it comes to eating, Mike is also easy. He eats anything delicious and clean. All day he's always happy chasing butterflies, admiring flowers, and then going to sleep. Truly a good boy.
Everyone in my family loves Mike very much. They see him as a member of the family. The day Mike came home was chosen as his birthday. On that day, everyone also bought cakes and gifts for Mike. I'm sure Mike is always the happiest dog.

In my family, my dad and I really love animals. Especially my dad, he loves taking care of and raising cute little animals. I remember, two years ago, after a long business trip, my dad brought home a beautiful black puppy that was still very small. Since that day, the puppy has become a close friend to our family until now.
On that day, I still remember I was the one who insisted on naming him. Any name my dad or mom suggested was rejected by me, and I insisted on naming him with my own idea. My parents just laughed and agreed. Since then, the little dog's name has been Rib - a very cute name.
Rib wears a coat of shiny black fur, very thick and soft. I love stroking his head and petting his smooth fur every time I play with Rib. Every time shedding season comes, my parents spend time bathing him together. My dad says it's not just to clean his fur but also to prevent fleas from nesting on him. Every bath, Rib enjoys it obediently without running away like the neighbor's dog.
Rib in our house has bright eyes with two small white spots above. Every time my grandma comes to visit, she praises Rib for having smart eyes, capable of guarding the house. Every time she does that, Rib jumps up and runs a few laps around the yard as if expressing joy for being praised. Just as my grandma said, Rib is very good at guarding the house. Whenever he sees strangers approaching the gate, he barks continuously. But if they're my parents' guests, he obediently lies quietly inside his small house.
Not only that, Rib runs fast and strong. His legs look short but are very fast. Just a few days after arriving, he quickly became familiar with the neighbor's dogs. Every time the running competition of the dogs takes place, Rib is always the fastest, leaving the other dogs far behind. Every time I come home from school, I can see Rib waiting outside the gate. Just hearing my voice, he immediately wags his tail happily.
Rib loves being petted and having his cheeks stroked by me. Every time, he closes his eyes obediently, his tail wagging happily. Every mealtime, my mom just needs to call his name, and he immediately wags his tail, running quickly to the bowl of food my mom brings, as if someone else will take his portion away. He eats very obediently, very skillfully without dropping any rice grains on the ground. That's why my mom likes feeding him because she doesn't have to clean up leftover food.
I adore Rib so much. Thanks to Rib, our house is always safe from theft. Every day, I take care of him carefully to keep him healthy and growing quickly.

Knowing how much I love dogs, during the last summer vacation at my grandma's, she gave me a very cute dog. At that time, the dog was only 3 months old. I instantly fell in love with him, so I asked my grandma if I could take him home, and she agreed. I named him Captain.
Captain grows very fast. When my grandma gave him to me, he was only as big as my foot, but now he's not only growing rapidly but also very healthy and agile. He has a beautifully proportioned body, and his fur is smooth and soft like velvet. Captain's ears are sharp, always perked up, looking very adorable as if to listen for any movements around him. He's very intelligent and obedient. His wet nose is always twitching to sniff around. With his sharp teeth, I'm sure no thief would dare to come near him.
He walks gracefully and runs very fast. Every morning, Captain plays with the black cat in the yard. When he gets bored, he finds a cool spot to lie down. Captain lies down, resting his nose on his front paws, sleeping soundly, but don't be fooled! He always jumps up when he hears a noise or smells something strange. If it's a stranger, he shows his fierceness, growling as if to say, 'Get out of here now!' But on the other hand, when family members come home, just at the entrance of the alley, he already knows and always runs to the gate to greet them, running around them, wagging his tail happily. Those moments are truly joyful.
Everyone in my family loves Captain. He's like an important member of our family. Before going to bed, he always checks around the house to see if there's anything unusual, making us feel peaceful to sleep after a tired, stressful day of work and study.

Duke is such an adorable dog! He was a birthday gift from Dad on my eighth birthday. Duke is a Bichon breed, my favorite type of dog. He wears shiny black fur. The curly strands resemble shrimp noodles. Whenever he curls up in my arms, he looks just like a ball of yarn.
With big, round eyes like marbles and ears quite long, always wagging, he looks really cute. His tiny nose is always wet. He walks gently and runs very fast. In the morning, he plays with the three-legged cat in the yard. Feeling tired, he climbs onto the porch and falls asleep peacefully.
Whenever I come home from school, he runs out to the gate to greet me, his tail wagging as if to say, 'Oh! The boss is back, come play with me.' For me, Duke is not only the guardian of my small house but also a close friend with whom I can share all my sorrows, joys, and a little brother who loves to snuggle. I really cherish my Duke.

We've had a dog at home since I was a child. Until now, he's grown up, lively, and agile, and he's been my favorite dog since childhood.
That dog wears a very special outfit, a striking black one. Sometimes, when it stands in the darkness, it blends in with the night, making it impossible for me to see where it's standing. Its head resembles a bicycle seat, and its mouth with white teeth is always open, with its pink tongue sticking out, showing a very cheerful and enthusiastic demeanor.
Its ears droop down when sad and stand straight up when listening attentively. Its long legs help it run very fast; every time we race, it always beats me. Its tail is always wagging. Especially when it's happy, the tail keeps wagging continuously, but when it's sad, the tail lies down quietly, looking very pitiful.
Every time I come home from school, I look at the gate from afar and already see our beloved dog standing there, wagging its tail happily, waiting for me. Every evening, while the house is quiet and sinking into sleep after a tiring day, it lies with its eyes closed on the veranda protecting us. Thanks to it, our house has never been robbed again. Every day, I bring food out for it, waiting for it to finish eating before going inside. It seems like it doesn't want me to stay outside for long, so it always eats very quickly.
Therefore, I really cherish our house dog. I hope it will always be healthy and active like it is now.

Dogs are known for their loyalty, not only are they adorable and obedient, but they also diligently guard the house. Meet KiKi, our beloved dog, who has been with us since it was just a tiny pup. Initially shy, KiKi would often hide under the bed whenever someone approached. Now, KiKi has grown into a confident adult dog, always eager to greet us with wagging tail whenever we come home from work or school. Despite being a smaller breed, KiKi, a grass dog, is incredibly intelligent and well-behaved, earning love and admiration from everyone in the household.
KiKi, with its long, sleek black and gray coat, enjoys being petted, its fur feeling as soft as cotton. Its small stature doesn't diminish its intelligence and charm, making it a cherished member of our family.
Being a loyal and diligent creature, KiKi not only guards our home but also brings joy and companionship to our lives. With its playful antics and affectionate nature, KiKi has won the hearts of everyone in our family.
KiKi's eyes are round and as black as obsidian, always sparkling as if filled with water, especially when I feed KiKi or take it outside to play. Despite KiKi's short legs, it can run very fast. When it rushes to greet my mother whenever she comes back from the market or chases the neighbor's cats trying to steal food, its short legs become agile and swift.
My KiKi isn't just adorable but also incredibly intelligent and well-behaved. When no one is home, KiKi always obediently sits on the veranda, ensuring our house is safe from intruders. Whenever someone returns, KiKi eagerly runs up to greet them, affectionately wrapping its legs around theirs and nudging them with its tiny head. Even when I'm still far from the gate on my way home from school, KiKi rushes out to welcome me, filling my heart with joy.
Not only does KiKi rejoice when the family returns home, but it also runs to the gate to bid farewell whenever my parents leave for work. It stays at the gate until they disappear from sight, then reluctantly retreats to the veranda.
I cherish my dear KiKi not just as a pet to guard the house but also as a loyal, adorable, intelligent, and well-behaved friend.

Each member of my family has different preferences. While my younger brother adores cute, cuddly cats that like to be pampered, I prefer intelligent and loyal dogs like Hồ Lô.
Hồ Lô is a Phu Quoc Ridgeback that my dad brought home from his unit two years ago. At that time, he was just a tiny puppy under two months old, small but mischievous. Now, Hồ Lô has grown into a towering two-year-old dog, swift and agile. His fur is a long, silky grayish-brown, feeling as smooth as velvet to the touch. Along his back runs a cluster of long, thick stripes, a distinctive feature of his breed.
Hồ Lô's eyes are round and as black as obsidian, always sparkling as if filled with water. His long ears usually stand straight up to keenly listen to his surroundings, only drooping lightly when he's relaxed or asleep. His long, slender legs allow him to stride gracefully, and he runs very fast. Sometimes, I can't even pedal my bicycle faster than Hồ Lô. His sharp teeth are a weapon against intruders.
Hồ Lô's nose is extremely sensitive and keen. His body reacts lightning-fast to mice. If a mouse happens to enter our house, it doesn't take Hồ Lô more than a minute to catch it under his paw. He enjoys lying under the porch near the gate, ready to spring up at the slightest sound. When family members return home, he wags his long tail enthusiastically, wrapping his paws around their legs in joyful excitement. However, when he encounters strangers, he barks softly while baring his teeth as a warning. Thanks to Hồ Lô, our family can always leave home without worries.
I deeply cherish Hồ Lô. To me, he's not just a pet at home but also a loyal and trustworthy friend, worthy of admiration.

Recently, after reading the story of 'Hachiko - the faithful dog,' I was deeply impressed and moved by the loyalty of dogs. Dogs have long been close companions to humans in life. For my family, Luna is not just an ordinary pet. She is an important member, a dear friend that we cannot live without.
Luna was a gift from my grandmother when her dog gave birth to six adorable puppies. I still remember the day Luna came home, she was timid and bewildered, trying to adapt to a new environment. Now, Luna has grown into a lively dog, shedding her shyness for a robust and playful demeanor.
Her fur is soft and silky, a golden hue that gleams in the light. Luna's round eyes sparkle with agility and intelligence. Her black nose is always moist, a testament to her keen sense of smell. They say a dog's sense of smell is incredibly sharp, and it's true. Thanks to her nose, Luna can detect countless scents even from a distance. Her floppy ears resemble dreamy leaves, perking up with excitement or curiosity. When happy or curious, her ears stand tall with interest. When sad or fearful, they droop down, looking pitiful.
Her short legs may look stubby, but she runs remarkably fast. At the sound of my voice, she comes running to me within seconds. Whenever we play together, she's always enthusiastic, her tail wagging energetically. Luna has become an irreplaceable part of my life. Every day, when I come home from school, she's waiting at the gate. As soon as she sees me, her eyes light up with joy and happiness. When I pet her head or stroke her gently, she makes contented sounds, nuzzling into my hand for more affection.
By nightfall, as the darkness descends and the house falls into peaceful slumber, Luna quietly goes about her duties. She lies obediently in a corner, her ears perking up at the slightest sound, alert and vigilant. She is the guardian of our sleep, preserving and protecting the peace of our family. Whenever guests arrive, she barks loudly three times to announce their presence. Despite her fierce appearance, a stern word from my mother is enough to make her quiet down and run to cuddle my mother's legs.
I hope Luna will stay with us for a long time. To me, she's become a true friend, with thoughts, feelings, and emotions just like a human.

At my grandma's house, we have a very well-behaved dog. His name is Ink.
Just like his name suggests. Ink's whole body is covered in a layer of deep black fur. He's quite large and chubby. But whenever someone comments on his weight, he gets upset and refuses to eat. Ink's head is as big as my bike seat with a very firm forehead. His triangular ears stand straight, always ready to listen. His big, round, jet-black eyes always look at me with trust and affection. His nose is as big as an ice cream cone, with sharp white teeth. Those teeth can bite through a bone, but they only bite out of love for me. Ink's legs are not too big, but very strong, able to run faster than me cycling and jump over water ditches. My favorite thing about Ink is his tail. Every time he's happy, his tail waves back and forth like a fan, so strong that it even waves his rear end.
Ink is considered the youngest grandchild in our house. So he has his own small house and a clean nest. Every day after school, I spend some time playing with Ink to keep our bond strong.

We have a lovely dog named Apple at home.
Apple is a nearly two-year-old grass dog with a coat of deep golden fur, so dark that it's almost the color of an apple when standing in the sun. Although he's just a grass dog, thanks to the love and care from my parents and me, Apple has a strong and healthy physique, not inferior to Western dogs. His coat is thick and soft. Whenever he runs and jumps, it flutters so cutely. His triangular-shaped face with a long nose, wet black nose, and innocent black eyes. His ears are like two jackfruit leaves, always standing up to be alert. Apple's four legs are big and strong, helping him run fast and jump high. Underneath his paws is a fleshy pad that allows him to move silently. The most beautiful part is Apple's tail. It's both big and fluffy. When he's happy, his tail wags joyfully, looking very cheerful.
Every day, Apple just eats, sleeps, and plays with everyone. Previously, Mom said we kept Apple to guard the house, but since we got him, Dad had to install a full security system to make sure Apple wouldn't get lost. Everyone values and loves Apple, seeing him as a family member.

Oh! How wonderful! I cheered when Mom brought home an adorable dog. I quickly took him to my room. After some thought, I named him Black Spots.
When Mom first brought him home, Black Spots was scared, always hiding in the wall. But just a few days later, he got acquainted with me, followed me to the kitchen, followed me to the room. Looking into Black Spots' eyes, I felt like he was wishing for something. I picked him up, saying softly: 'Do you want to be friends with me? My buddy! Alright, from now on your name is Black Spots, okay?'. Black Spots wagged his tail as if agreeing with his cute name.
This dog has a coat of brown interspersed with white, resembling a gecko, known as a variegated coat. Its small head looks like a bicycle seat. Its ears always stand upright as if listening for something. Black Spots' eyes look innocent, but at night, they shine green, allowing him to see everything clearly. The whiskers protrude, resembling those of a tiger cub.
The mouth initially looks gentle, but when he growls, his fangs appear fierce like a beast. The nose is peculiar, always wet like someone with a cold. The tail's tuft of fur is bushy, curled into an O shape, wagging happily or stretching out when sad. When I come home from school, just at the entrance of the alley, he jumps up, eagerly grabbing my hand, showing closeness. As night falls, while the family is sleeping soundly after a day of hard work, he remains awake, keeping watch for everyone.
Especially when there are strangers, he bares his teeth menacingly, barking 'growl, growl', making any guest fearful. Yet, just a single call from my dad and he immediately falls silent. Despite being a dog, he detests mice. 'Squeak, squeak', a brave mouse is walking in front of him. Unluckily for the mouse, unaware that Black Spots is angry, it casually nibbles on some tasty grains. Suddenly, 'snap', the mouse is caught in Black Spots' claws. In truth, he only intended to scare the tiny mouse. But because he pounced too hard, the poor mouse was doomed long ago.
On ordinary days, having meals with him, no complaints! He eats voraciously, swallowing without pause. I barely manage to eat half a bowl of rice when he's already cleaned the large pot. After eating, he licks the bowl meticulously, as if not wanting a single grain of rice to remain, looking quite annoying! It seems like he likes me a lot! When I'm watching TV, he often comes over, nudging against my leg as if he wants me to stroke his soft fur or cuddle with him a little.
I cherish him so much! Whenever I have free time, I always play with him, never getting bored. During those moments, all the worries in my head just disappear. That's my Black Spots. Wise and truly adorable!
All members of my family love animals, so we have many pets at home. Among them, my favorite is Milu, who was a 7th birthday gift.

The first time I saw Milu, it was just a tiny puppy about the size of my foot. And now, one of my arms can hug him perfectly. Milu is a Pomeranian, so even as he grows up, he still retains his small, cute body. His fur is silky, long, and smooth like velvet. Two small ears peek out, occasionally twitching to listen to any movement around.
I love him so much! Whenever I have free time, I always play with him, never getting bored. During those moments, all the worries in my head just disappear. That's my Black Spots. Wise and truly adorable!
His nose is always wet, slightly tilted upward. His black eyes sparkle like stars, round and bright. Every time he wants to eat, he blinks gently in a pitiful manner. His small and sharp teeth, accidentally bitten, surely hurt a lot. Milu's short and stubby legs, sitting down immediately hidden behind the fur. He looks extremely adorable running back and forth.
Milu is very obedient and intelligent. In the early morning, he often lies down with his snout on his small paws, dozing off in a corner of the porch. Like a Pomeranian, he is very vigilant with strangers, so just hearing a slight noise, he will wake up and bark continuously. Although his body is small, his bark is extremely loud, echoing throughout the neighborhood.
On the contrary, he is extremely loyal to the members of the family. When I come home from school and reach the alley, he recognizes me and runs out to greet me. His eyes are bright, his tail wags, and he barks a few times to show his extreme joy.
Milu is not just a regular pet but more like a family member to us. Every time I play with him, all the tiredness and worries seem to vanish. I promise to take care of Milu diligently so that he always accompanies our family.
Animals have become close companions of humans, especially dogs. Our family is fortunate to have a very intelligent and loyal dog named Carrot.

The origin of the above name comes from his love for carrots. Carrot is currently 5 months old, a familiar mixed breed in rural areas. He wears a shiny black coat, thick and smooth. Every time he sheds, fur flies all around the house. His bright eyes sparkle, with two cute white spots above. My mom says that based on those white spots, Carrot is extremely smart at guarding the house.
His ears are slightly droopy, his wet black nose and sharp teeth. He has long, well-proportioned legs, running extremely fast. His ears are sharp, and his body reacts very well. Every time he lies lazily outside the gate, he immediately gets up at the slightest noise. If he sees someone familiar, he will obediently lie down; if it's a stranger, he will bark loudly, growl, and be ready to bite if there's any suspicious behavior.
Dogs, such as Carrot, bring joy and companionship to our lives. With their loyalty and intelligence, they become an integral part of the family.
Whenever the members of my family return or it's mealtime, Carrot always wags his tail eagerly and runs back swiftly. Unlike most dogs, he really enjoys eating vegetables.
To me, Carrot is both a close friend and an important member of the family. I love Carrot dearly, and I will strive to take care of him to keep him healthy.
Last Tet holiday, my dad brought home a small puppy for me. I named him Fluffy.

Fluffy is the latest addition to our family, and he has brought so much joy and excitement into our lives. I look forward to creating wonderful memories with him.
Xù, about five months old, has a petite body. He has fluffy white fur, which sticks out like sharp thorns. The soft, smooth strands are as gentle as velvet. I love cuddling him and stroking his soft fur! Xù's four legs are tiny. His paws have four toes, with two small claws on the middle toes to help him move more easily. Xù has round, sparkling eyes, shining like two stars. Normally green, they turn suddenly red when he's angry, which can be quite intimidating. Especially when he's competing for food with other dogs, he growls, stares at his opponent, and then lunges to grab the food and run away.
He not only has beautiful eyes but also a very sensitive nose, excellent for sniffing. His nose is slightly large, black, and sometimes moist like a cat's nose. Every time I give him food, he uses his nose to sniff to see if there's fish or not. If there's fish, he'll eat more. Below his nose is his mouth. His mouth protrudes, with evenly spaced teeth like corn kernels and two small canines. Thanks to these strong teeth, he can eat any big bone.
Xù is a small but very clever and intelligent dog, active and playful. Despite his short legs, he runs very fast. Whenever I have something to do outside, Xù always wags his tail and quickly follows me. On leisurely afternoons, I often take him for a walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes when I come home from school, I see Xù wagging his tail from afar and then gently coming close and jumping onto me. Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I also like to tell Xù. At those times, he sits quietly, his hind legs bent, his ears perked up, his nose twitching as he listens to my sighs. He looks incredibly adorable then!
Xù has long been a member of my family. Xù is not only my friend but also a very good guard. Whenever he sees a stranger, whether it's day or night, he barks loudly to alert us, sometimes preventing the person from entering the house. My dad often pets him on the head and praises him for being obedient. I love Xù very much, and I hope he will stay with me and grow up with me every day!

The variety of animals at our house includes the adorable and lovely Mun, two lively goldfish swimming in the tank, and the melodious songbird chirping cheerfully in its cage... But among them, my favorite is our little puppy. Our cute little puppy is just so adorable! I really like and love our puppy!
Our puppy's name is Tanie. Tanie has been living with our family for over a year now. When Tanie first came home, he looked so cute and tiny. His body was just a little bigger than a watermelon, round and cute. His short, stubby legs were hilariously chubby. At first, Tanie was very timid and wouldn't dare to go anywhere. But after a few months, once he got used to the people in the house, he would follow me around everywhere. After over a year living with us, Tanie has grown up a lot now.
Tanie is now even more beautiful and adorable! His body is much bigger than before. His fur is a bit darker but very smooth and soft like velvet. I love stroking his fur, it's so silky and nice. Tanie's four legs are no longer short but much taller now. His tall legs make him look much taller and slimmer. His short, cute tail always wags happily. When something exciting happens or a family member comes home, he wags his tail and rushes to greet them like a child receiving a gift or meeting their mom. Tanie's ears are also short and cute. His small, pink nose is adorable. Tanie is very smart. He gets excited when family members come home, but if a stranger enters the house, he'll bark for a long time. Tanie is also good at catching mice like a cat, quick and obedient.
I deeply cherish and adore our dog Tanie. I hope Tanie will stay with our family for a long time, and even if we go far away in the future, I will never forget Tanie.
Every family in the countryside almost always has one or more dogs. Our family is no exception.

Our family dog has a golden coat and is in the prime of adulthood, so it's growing rapidly. Its golden fur is slightly coarse, not waterproof, helping to limit the cold of winter as well as protecting its inner skin layer. Its black eyes gaze intently at those who set foot in our house, but perhaps its eyes shine brightest at night. Because dogs usually act more at night than during the day, this characteristic is entirely accurate. Its black, elongated muzzle helps its barking to resonate more and makes eating and drinking easier. Our family dog is very gentle, always lying quietly in the corner of the house, never biting anyone. But when it sees a stranger enter the house, it will bark loudly as a warning sign for our family that there's a stranger entering the house.
The big curly tail, wagging from side to side as the dog runs, looks incredibly cute. When it runs, this dog runs very fast, making me feel like it's flying off the ground. Perhaps because of its small and slim legs, it can move most conveniently. Every time it's sick, it lies still, occasionally whimpering and snuggling up to me. It refuses to eat when it's sick; the food has to be cooked deliciously for it to eat. In those moments, I feel so sorry for it. But when it's healthy, this dog eats very neatly and orderly without dropping a single grain outside. That's what makes my dad never hit it; he doesn't like pets that eat messily.
Our family dog usually sits outside the gate in the evening to prevent theft. When it detects strange noises, it barks loudly as a warning. Although it's gentle, if there's a thief, it won't be gentle anymore. I really cherish our family dog.

Being a very loyal creature, not only is it obedient and adorable, but it's also very diligent in guarding the house, that's the dog. Our house has many animals like chickens, cats, buffaloes, ducks... but the animal I love the most is still the dog.
Our family dog is a cute little one named Ki Ki. Ki Ki was brought home by my dad when it was still tiny. Back then, it was very timid, always running under the bed to hide whenever it saw people. Now Ki Ki has grown into an adult dog, no longer shy as before. It always runs after me, wagging its tail happily when my parents and older brother go to work or school.
Ki Ki is a breed of grass dog, so even though it's grown up, it's much smaller than the neighbor's dogs. Despite being small, Ki Ki is very smart and well-behaved, so everyone in our house loves it. My Ki Ki has a long, smooth blackish-gray fur. Every time I stroke its fur, I feel very pleased because it's as soft and smooth as cotton. Ki Ki's eyes are round and black like two black beans. Its eyes always sparkle as if they have water, especially when I feed Ki Ki or take it out to play at the cultural center.
Ki Ki has very short legs, but it can run very fast. When it runs to greet my mom every time she comes back from the market or when it chases the neighbor's cats when they sneakily eat food, its short legs become agile. My Ki Ki is not only cute but also very intelligent and well-behaved. When there's no one at home, Ki Ki always obediently lies on the veranda guarding the house, so our house never has burglars or anything stolen.
Whenever someone comes home, Ki Ki runs out and wraps its legs around them, nudging its small head against their legs, which is very adorable. When I come home from school, even before reaching the gate, just hearing the sound, Ki Ki runs out to greet me. Those moments make me very happy. Not only does it rejoice when the owner comes home, but also every time I or my parents go to work, Ki Ki runs to the gate to see us off, only going back to the veranda when it no longer sees us.
I adore Ki Ki so much; to me, it's not just a pet to guard the house, but also a loyal, adorable, intelligent, and well-behaved friend.

Every day after school, I just want to get home quickly because I know there's a friend waiting for me there. That's Lu, the dog I love the most.
Lu, at three years old, is a mixed-breed dog that my dad gave me when he went on a business trip far from home. Lu isn't as big as other dogs. It has a petite figure, weighing just over three kilograms. Instead of an ugly black coat, Lu sports a sleek, white fur coat. It looks like a soft, adorable cotton ball that anyone would want to hug. But Lu only snuggles into my arms, allowing me to stroke it. Its fur fluffs up when it's angry or rejecting something, then settles back down when it apologizes for its mistakes.
Lu's head is tiny, surrounded by dense white fur, making it hard to distinguish where the head starts. Its small triangular ears occasionally twitch as if listening intently. Amidst the pristine white fluff are its large, round eyes, resembling shiny marbles. With its black, glistening eyes, Lu eagerly watches me, then looks down in anticipation every morning as I head off to school. Its moist black nose is always active, sniffing everything around. It seems like Lu can detect the foul and sinister smells of evildoers. Then there's Lu's tiny mouth. Whenever it's given food, its pink nose protrudes, licking the bone before gnawing on it. Watching Lu eat eagerly yet neatly is incredibly adorable.
Lu's legs are tiny, with its body only about ten centimeters above the ground. But Lu is nimble and lively. It can run around the house, play with butterflies in the yard, and frolic with the neighborhood cats all day without getting bored. Its short, stubby tail wags and twitches depending on its mood.
Lu loves being petted, pampered, and taken for walks. Lu especially enjoys playing with grandma's yarn, unraveling it and weaving around the house. When caught by grandma, it flashes its sparkling eyes and wags its tail, making it impossible for anyone to punish. Everything I do involves Lu: when eating, playing, even when sleeping, we're always together.

Not only friends are always there by our side, sharing joys and sorrows in life. Pets are also wonderful companions who never betray us and are an indispensable part of human emotional life. Dolly - the fluffy dog - is a significant piece of my family.
He was a birthday gift from my dad last year. When he first arrived, he was tiny and timid, huddling in a corner of the house, but now he's agile, playful, and much smarter. His curly gray fur resembles warm cotton. His petite body, head the size of a grapefruit, is round and cute. His brown eyes shine with intelligence and agility. His ears occasionally perk up to listen to his surroundings. His tail wags, and from afar, when he sees me or my dad, he wags his tail happily, running over and barking cheerfully. Some days when I visited my grandparents in the countryside, Dolly would lie sadly in a corner, eyes drooping. As soon as he saw me, he perked up, running to my feet, gently nudging his head against me. He loves going for walks with me in the nearby park. Every time we go to the park, Dolly acts like a child, running and playing carefree, sometimes barking excitedly to express his joy and happiness. When I'm happy, he's always there to play and share that joy with me. When I'm sad, he shows empathy, nuzzling against me and sharing those deep, heartfelt conversations. Not just a friend, Dolly is like a loyal confidant always by my side.
I'll take good care of Dolly so that he can stay with me and my family for a long time. Not just a friend bringing joy and sharing thoughts with me, Dolly has become an important member, irreplaceable in my family.
Among the pets kept indoors, dogs are the most useful and closest to humans. That's why our family also has an incredibly adorable dog. I named him Spotty.

Among the pets kept indoors, dogs are the most useful and closest to humans. That's why our family also has an incredibly adorable dog. I named him Spotty.
Spotty is two years old now. He's quite tall. His bark sounds much more mature than when he was small. Due to his hunting dog lineage, many nights, Spotty's howling sounds like a wolf. At first, I felt a little scared. But as time went by, I found his howling quite endearing. My dad said with that howl, thieves would be scared and stay away from our home.
Spotty has brown and yellow fur. His four legs are slender and long. I call our dog Spotty because his tail is short. Looking at it, it doesn't seem proportionate to his body. Spotty's ears still perk up to listen. They only droop when he sleeps. However, even when drooped, his ears are still very attentive. Spotty has round black eyes like two marbles. Looking into those eyes, you can see his cleverness.
Since having Spotty guarding our house, our family feels like we have a dedicated soldier standing watch day and night. To reward his dedication, on weekends, I often take Spotty for a walk in the park. He seems to enjoy it and is very obedient. The more he behaves like this, the more I love my dog Spotty.
