My Pet Dog

I am an animal lover. My pet animal is a dog. He is my favourite buddy. I have christened him Baba. When he was only 12 days old, we brought him from a pet shop. In appearance, he is white in colour with brown bright eyes. It also has long fluffy hair on its body and a bushy tail which is loved by everyone in our home. I give him bread and milk every day. He is especially fond of meat and biscuits. Baba is a very faithful animal and protects our home. Whenever he sees an unknown person entering our house, he barks loudly at the strangers. He is a very charming and child-friendly animal. He is loyal and active as well. He sleeps early at night and wakes up late in the morning. When I come back from school, he jumps into my lap.
