I don't have a pet but I feel more aligned with dog people as I consider reliability, loyalty, and thoughtfulness valuable qualities.
At the moment, I don't have any pet companion in my household. But I have to admit that I'm definitely a dog person and I believe that a dog can represent my characteristics such as friendly, enthusiastic, and loyal. I really want to own and take care of a dog as my best friend, unfortunately, I don't have a disposable income so I currently can't actualize this. I can only nurture my love of pets through Tiktok vidoes and these absolutely can fit the bill.
thank you BBC for shering
Thanks bbc team!!
I think that both dogs and cats can make your life better and happier. At the moment I have three cats but I love dogs too😊
Thanks BBC
I don’t have any pets but I love your newest podcast.
Hi BBC.I love themes about pets,please make more topics about animals.Thank you.

thank you. Your lesson fitted the bill for me.
Loved this 6 Minutes English Lesson ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi BBC Learning English , I love this lessons, before to watching till finished it, my correct answered is B. 17% and then Georgie answered the same, too
I guess pats are symble of loyalty, truthdulness and steadfastness. They make our life better. They are exotic❤❤❤
Thank you for the video
yeah my life become more happier when having a pet as a family member😊
Most people like pets, but the kinds of pets we like are different. You could be a dog person who is usually loyal. You could also be a cat person who is generally introverted and proud. You need high living standards to have enough disposable income to own a pet.
Wonderful!
I've been an avid dog person ever since I was a kid. Now, as the living standards in HCMC have been better, I'd always love to have one or two as my companion, for me it really fits the bill as my disposable income can afford to take care of them wholeheartedly. I just can't get enough of their loyalty and cuteness.
hey, your sentence is like a lesson. great comment!
Me to, I can't get enough of their loyalty and cuteness.
Thanks BBC Learning English
Thanks for studying with us 😊
Cats are living proof that you can be aloof and adorable at the same time. And who can resist those fluffy bellies begging for scritches?
Me

I love dogs . I used to have a dog . Its name was a Kurumi.
It means walnut. walnut color is brown, and sounds of its pronunciation is cute. That is why, We gave the name to my dog.
My dog was shiba inu.
It is japanese dog, polite and loyalty.
we loved the dog.
My pet passed away about 2years ago.
I cried many times,I felt as if my body was taken and lost.I felt as if My mInd had big black hole.
but as of now, I live peacefully.
thanks My precious dog.farewell.
For you I hope Heaven is beautiful place.
We're sorry to hear about your dog 😔 It's very sad when our pets pass away.
I love dogs

I always like dogs
Here in our house our family has a pet and her name is Sofia. Haha ha. Her nickname is Sosô.
I am cat person because they are very cute 😊❤
i feel dog and cat very loyal and trustworthy with me.
I've been a 100% cat person since I was a child…I don't know why.
NOW me and my husband have two loveable cats. Jones and Clarice.
Jones was named after the famous cat from the movie ”Alien“.
And Clarice was named after “The silence of the lambs” .
Horror cats😂
I am dog lover. eu sou um amante de cachorros.

When I was a child, I was a dog person, but after having a cute orange cat, I become a cat person😌
5:50
if I was a cat, mee·owz,
if I was a dog, bow-wow,
it's late, ciao-ciao.
I have a shiba dog and love her.
Actually, shiba dogs’ character is similar to cats!
My dog love to eat fish, and she is fickle like cats.
I love the pets, i have a white dog his name is "Principe" like the princess, cuz he really is like royalty
😂😂 He sounds like a real character! Just remember, you don't need 'the' when talking about things you like in general, so it should be 'I love pets' 👍 🐶
BBC Learning English
App Unavailable
This application is no longer available
Hi there. The BBC has taken the decision to close the app to simplify and improve its offer to its audiences. We are sorry if this is disappointing news. You can still access content from the BBC’s learning English team via our website, social media, You Tube Channel and Podcasts. 😃
Do we say canine and feline to describe dog and cat people?
I think the third candidate is fit the bill because of his intelligence, good appearance and his loyalty.
My learning english course named harvard
I don't have any kind of pet . But I am a cat person not at all a dog person because I am afraid of dogs I don't know why but I have never touch any dog in my life . I love cats because they are very cute If I ever buy a pet it would definitely be a cat .
🤩🤩🤩
I heard a noisy voice in the background, I think someone was breathing, did you hear it?
When Prof. Start to talking
He started to breathe as well
It's so nice I have got three pets.Two dogs and 1 cat.I'm a dog person and I don't like cat.I just get contrition why I bought this cat.
anybody else heard that strange noise in background, like a gasp, from 2:19 to 2:54
I miss the application... why did you close it? 😢
I have three goldfish. I did think goldfish are stupid. But the penny has dropped after a month, due to the fact that they asked for food, clean water and tank decorations. So, goldfish aren't as stupid as I thought. By the way, I'm wondering if I'm expressing my stupidity by having three goldfish.🤔
Cat name is doprie.
I am both lover
I've always been afraid of both cats and dogs
Good morning I definitely dog 🐶 person it's 3 months old Dorgi I think Dog is top pets loyal

I’m a cat person. I’m not introverted and sensitive person but just only lazy man. 😂😂
I’m a dog person, I currently have 3 dogs, and they always snuggle me whenever I come home from school and wave their tails to welcome me.
Yes, dogs are very affectionate! 🐶
I like cat and I've many cats at home
👍 Great! Just remember to put an 's' on the end of 'cat' when you're talking about them in general, so it should be: 'I like cats and I've got many cats at home.' 🐱
The parrot can speak. It's the only animal that do it. But it can't write for social media unfortunately😅

The other day, a Japan Airlines plane caught fire upon landing at Haneda Airport.
Fortunately, all the crew and passengers were able to evacuate.
However, under Japanese law, pets are treated as "property," so they are forcibly contained in the cargo hold.
They were not rescued in this blaze.
What do you all think about the carriage of pets in boarding?

I’m definitely a cat person! To be honest, I haven’t been any pets in my adult life, but my parents have a cat. I like cats due to their calmness and proud disposition. Dogs are friends for a human, but sometimes they are so stupid. They bark all the time without reasons. I live on the countryside and my neighbors have dogs. They are barking without stops even at night. It’s so annoying and just makes me crazy! I can’t understand why other people don’t hear that terrible noise! Are they deaf?!
Maybe they just got used to it...
I'm cat person 😄 they're much more softer and cuter than dogs 😅
Pure pumpkin 19
Where's Beth 😢

What was the strange noise? Does anyone do something sexual and inappropriate during recording the podcast? It was strange! What was that?
2:46 and 4:10 you can hear
Actually I love this podcast. I hope this sound is something normal…
I also noticed and thought something inappropriate. But on second thought I decided to think it was dog’s breathing in order to concentrate on learning English 😂
Hahahah i also noticed 😆.. Strange what was that🤣
Just I'm joking 😊😊🎉
BUT I LOVE CATS😊
Please sher the words here in this comments
I'm a parrot person 😂
I wish Georgie were the laughing Buddha of India!
