In Canada， you can find dogs， cats， horses， etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses， they take them to the vet who gives them injection so that they won’t spread diseases. They have special animal food stores， though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes， they are happy to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has bird feeder in their gardens. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go， nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada.
　　People in Canada like animals for many reasons. One reason might be that their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up， they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave a person alone.
