Dog Companions

Monkeys are cute but are not domesticated animals
Dogs are domesticated and cute and our best friends.
Choose a dog every time over exotic pets and you will be happier.

Recommended reading: Sophie's Story


Sophie's Story 
Author:  Vince Smith.
A very moving story of a chimp who was initially reared by a zoo veterinarian and his family when her natural mother rejected her.  The book is informative, humorous and gives a clear picture of the dilemma facing primates in the world today.  Their own environment is dangerous and their salvation seems to be in game preserves and zoos but as this book points out, they pose their own set of problems.  This is an easy read and would be an excellent resource for school projects.
