One possible version
Secondly, dogs are friendly. They are usually very welcoming to both their owners and even strangers. Many dogs are great with kids, making them wonderful playmates for children.
Thirdly, dogs are fun to play with. They love activities like running, fetching balls, and going for walks. Playing with a dog can not only bring joy but also help you stay active. Dog owners can take their dogs to parks or on hikes, which is a great way to spend quality time together.
