Below is a boy's letter to his mom. Identify his CLAIM.

I think we should get a pet dog. Dogs make great pets because they are loyal. They help detect criminals, like thieves. They also help boost people’s moods because they are friendly and playful. Doctors have even found that owning a dog can improve a person’s health. They reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and they help prevent allergies, asthma, and eczema in children! You might think that I am not responsible enough to have a pet dog. But, I have demonstrated responsibility by making my bed every morning and doing my homework every afternoon. I know that I would be responsible for walking our pet dog and cleaning up after it. Getting a pet dog would be good for our whole family!
