2010 Winner Essay Contest - Theme was
"PETS and PEOPLE- HEALTHY TOGETHER"


PETS & PEOPLE


It seems like forever,
That people and pets have lived healthily together,
You and your pet can go on evening walks,
It’s even helpful to give it long talks.
Living alone is no fun,
So get a pet to play in the sun
Feed your pet to keep it strong,
And if you don’t it’s just plain wrong.
Take your pet for a swim in the lake,
Or let it mend your heartache.
So go get a pet today,
You have nothing to lose anyway.

Sara Craven
Whitefish, MT
