My partner ________ and I stand in strong affirmation of the resolution, resolved: Dogs are better than cats. My partner and I find it necessary to give you the following definitions we define dogs as a domesticated canid, Canis familiaris, bred in many varieties. We define better as: of superior suitability, advisability, desirability, acceptableness, etc.; preferable. Our Three main points are: Dogs are more loyal, dogs save lives, and Dogs are man’s best friend.

These cats were owned by 86 year old Mae; one day Mae had a stroke.

Now lets look at this situation as if Mae owned a dog. The first and most important life saving ability of the dog is the ability to sense strokes and signal the owner of said dog. Conclusion: Dogs save your life, Cats will вЂ¦Ð²Ð‚¦.not.
