Read the paragraph.

I like many kinds of pets, but I think dogs are the best. Dogs can learn to obey when their owners say, “Sit,” or “Come.” Dogs wag their tails or bark when they are excited. They are easy to feed because they seem to like almost everything. Dogs need to go for walks, and walks are good exercise for dog owners.
