We should allow pets in schools.

I believe that we should allow pets in school because they can help in lots of ways.

Train pets to do jobs for you: For example if your pencil is stuck up somewhere high then your pet bird will fly up and get it for you.  Another reason is if you get stuck up a tree your cat will go up the tree and then go back down and then you can follow the cat down.    

Pet fitness: when you get tired of running your pet dog can run for you.  Furthermore if your dog can’t run you could walk it each day and then it would be fit and then it would be able to run for you.  

Pets can make you happy.When you are doing a test and you don’t know a question your pet can calm you down.  Finally when you have no one to play with you can play with your pet like if you had a dog you could play fetch with it or with a rabbit you could play hide and seek on the field.

That is why pets should be allowed in schools.
