TRANSCRIPT:

Hi Bob the Canadian here. Sometimes when you’re having an English conversation, people want to talk about their pets. Or maybe you wanna talk about yours. In this video I’ll help you learn some English words and phrases that will help you talk about two of the most common pets: cats and dogs.

I think a cat just meowed as I said cats and dogs.

So pets. Cats and dogs. Which one do you wanna talk about first? In English we often say, “Are you a cat lover or a dog lover?” “Are you a cat person or a dog person?”

This is how we describe the difference between people who love cats, and people who love dogs. Myself, I have to say, I’m not sure which I am. In some ways I like cats because they’re quiet, they kinda sit by themselves, and they’re just in general a calm animal. But I also like the excitement of a dog.

We have a dog, his name is Oscar. I’ll try to find a picture of him to put in this video. And Oscar’s just a great farm dog. He’s a dog who lives mostly outside, but he is allowed in the front entrance of our home. So in some ways he’s also a house dog.

But let’s talk about some things about dogs. Dogs eat dog food that they eat out of a dog bowl. When dogs make sounds we say that they either bark or growl. I’m gonna bark here to to make the sound barking sounds like “ruff, ruff” and growling is “grrrrr”. Couple of interesting things about dogs, we call them man’s best friend in English. It’s a phrase that we use because dogs have been with people for so long that they are man’s best friend.

Another interesting fact, the feet of a dog are called paws. A baby dog is called a puppy.

And there’s a couple of things you can do with a dog. You can take your dog for a walk. When you take a dog for a walk you use what we call in English a leash. You have your dog on a leash. And another thing about dogs is you can pet your dog, dogs like to have their ears scratched. So you can pet your dog, you can scratch your dog’s ears. A lot of times a dog will have a dog mat that they lay on when they’re in the house.

You can also teach your dog to do tricks.
