Introduction:

● Cane Corsos can grow up to the size of human on four legs!

● Best friend + Protector + Most Loyal Adopted Family Member= perfect pet to have!
● When I was younger, I always wanted a pet, especially a dog
● I will tell you about some of the responsibilities of having a dog as a pet.
● Owning a dog comes with the responsibilities of caring for them such as feeding them
every day and properly training them!
Body:
1. Feeding The Dog!

I. The type of dog (breed)
II. Brand of dog food

about these before adopting your own best friend.
2. Not only will they be your best friend, but you are responsible for their health and overall
physical care.
3. Take it from a person with five dogs, they will never complain and love you no matter
