A short speech on my favourite animal (Classes 3 to 5)

Good morning, everyone. Today I will tell you about my favourite animal, the dog.

Dogs are loyal, playful and very clever. They protect our homes, help the police and even guide people who cannot see. My neighbour's dog wags his tail and runs to me whenever I come home from school.

Dogs give us so much love. In return, we must feed them, keep them clean and be kind to street dogs too. Thank you.
