6. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow
Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner,
the child must take care of the animal's daily needs. The dog must be fed
and exercised every day. A dog is completely dependent on its owner for all
its needs, including the needs for good health and safe environment.
Therefore, the owner is responsible for the welfare of its dog. Being
responsible for a dog also means taking care of the dog so the dog stays

healthy and well-trained. Furthermore, the owner must take the
responsibility for the safety of the dog and the safety of the people it comes
into contact with. If the child forgets any of these duties and
responsibilities, or ignores any of the dog's needs, the dog will suffer. This
teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than
his desire to play with his friends, toys, watch televisions, play computer
games, or talk on the phone. This is true not only for the care of the dog,
but also for the care of oneself, care for another person, or one's job.
Learning how to take responsibility for the health and welfare of a dog
leads to learning how to take responsibility for oneself.
