I have noticed that many people have pets in Japan. The most common pet I see is the Shiba Inu. I can understand why, since they look really cool. My little sister really likes those dogs. Her favorite is a dog named Marutaro.
In America we have a pet poodle named Fifi. She’s been in our lives for so long, that she is practically a part of our family. One of the things I like about going back to America is when I see Fifi sitting next to my door, waiting for me to open it. She likes to lay on my bed and go to sleep while I do work on my laptop. I think pets are wonderful additions to a family.
In Japan, I am not sure if they sell exotic pets. Although I have seen birds, lizards, and hamsters as pets, I don’t think those are considered “exotic” in America. For example, when my mother was younger, she had a pet python. I think that is a cool pet, but she didn’t get many visitors when she was younger. If I were to get a pet myself, it would be something quiet like a snake.
