Aunt Zhou is over seventy years old. Her husband passed away a few years ago. Both her children work in other places and rarely go home. Aunt Zhou thought her life was boring, so she bought a pet dog not long ago to keep her company. However, she had never raised a dog before, so she was in a hurry and couldn't do what she wanted. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask his neighbors for advice on how to raise a dog.

Among the pets kept by people, pet dogs account for the largest proportion. Keeping a pet dog can bring happiness to people, and it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance, especially for widows and orphans and empty-nest elderly people. However, raising a dog is also something that requires great caution, and the following six points should be followed:

1. It is not advisable to keep too many pet dogs. Some people keep several pet dogs, which makes the house a mess and makes guests uncomfortable when they come.

2. Try to train your pet dog to develop good eating and sleeping habits. Do not develop bad habits of sleeping during the day and being active at night.

3. When taking your pet dog to the street or out for a walk, you should put a leash on your pet dog to prevent it from running around and causing trouble.

4. When your pet dog is sick, do not take it out to avoid infecting other people or livestock.

5. When taking your pet dog out, you should bring some paper towels and plastic bags. Once your pet dog poops dirt in places it shouldn’t, you should clean it up in time to avoid causing environmental pollution.

6. For the elderly with poor waist and legs, they should be extra careful when walking their dogs to avoid letting the dog rope get entangled in their legs and feet and cause them to fall. It is best to choose a quiet place when taking your dog for a walk, because dogs are easily irritable and frightened in noisy environments and are difficult to control.
