Never in the history of humans, at least in North America, Europe and some parts of the world, have pets been so highly regarded as today. Centuries ago, pets were looked upon as animals of burden that were made to work to “earn” a living.

Dogs, for instance, were employed as guards in businesses and homes, herded livestock, or pulled small carts for newsboys. Sometimes, they were made to run on treadmills to power washing machines, grinders and butter churns.

Modern society has opened vast opportunities for pets that were no longer limited to dogs or cats. By the 20th century, people became conscious of animal welfare and rights.

One reason behind this is that pets make excellent companions and playmates to small children. Hence, the idea of keeping pets evolved. The most common pets today are dogs, cats, birds and reptiles.

Pets are common where small children are. They make good cuddly playmates and help instill a certain level of responsibility in young kids who learn to feed or groom them. No wonder they are found in many households today.
