Dogs Are Better Pets Than Cats; Formal Debate
My partner ________ and I stand in strong affirmation of the resolution, resolved: Dogs are better than cats.

Let me reiterate that, they have about a hundred dogs that are heroes and they pick the most outstanding cases. One such case is Indy whom not only did the vigilant dog wake his family when a fire had engulfed half of their house in time to save a child from an exploding window, Indy also led the family to the safest exit, saving them from downed power lines.

These cats were owned by 86 year old Mae; one day Mae had a stroke. As Mae lay unconscious for nearly a week her 7 cats begin to knaw, scratch and eat her not to death though she was saved by a fire department,
