[speaker001:] do you like animals?
[speaker002:] yes, doesn't everyone?
[speaker001:] what's your favorite animal?
[speaker002:] it's hard to say. While dogs are more affectionate, cats are much easier to take care of.
[speaker001:] have you ever had a dog?
[speaker002:] when I was little, we had a few domestic dogs at home.
[speaker001:] they always say that dogs are a man's best friends. do you think that's true?
[speaker002:] definitely. rich or poor, dogs always love their masters.
[speaker001:] how about cats? Have you ever had one for a pet?
[speaker002:] i had one a few months ago, but she ended up running away.
[speaker001:] how did that happen?
[speaker002:] she left through a window that was open one night and never returned.
[speaker001:] you must have been devastated!
[speaker002:] i was pretty sad. i still hope that she'll return some day!
[speaker001:] I hope she does. Do you think you'll ever get another pet?
[speaker002:] I think I will. It's difficult to feel longly when you have a pet around.
[speaker001:] i hope your cat finds its way back home.
[speaker002:] i do, too.
