AMERICANS Crazy about Animals

A pig that wears clothes , dogs that get married, a frog that goes to school. It’s only in America !

Where can you take your dog to a drive-in restaurant, buy him perfume, or take him to a luxury hotel for dogs ? In the USA, of course !

Millions of Americans have pets. Theys spend about $20 billion on them every year. Some really eccentric Americans treat their animals like humans.

Beautiful pets

You can take your pet to a beauty salon anywhere in the world. But in the USA, if you have a fat pet, you can take it to animal gym or buy it low-calorie-food.

If it’s your dog’s birthday, you can take him to a special restaurant for dogs…or give him a private party with all his friends.

Pet psychologists

If your pet is ill, you normally take it to the veterinarian. But in the USA, you can take pets ot a pet psychiatrist, astrologer or psychic. Or why not to try acupunture , or a massage ?

Donnez votre point de vue :

• I have got some pets :….

• I haven’t got any pets…
