Almost everyone has a pet, or has had a pet at some point in their lives. Some pets are as traditional as dogs and cats, while some are as exotic as snakes and iguanas. Pets can be entertaining, heroic, or just a friend in a time of need. The following writing prompts are all dedicated to our non-human friends.

1.) Write an article about a heroic animal in your area. It can be a dog who saved their owner, a cat living in a nursing home, or whatever else you can think of. Be sure to give as much detail as possible.

2.) Tell us about your first pet. Did you ever have a hamster or a bird? Maybe you were a farm kid who had your own horse. Write an essay about your pet and how that pet impacted your life.

3.) Do you or someone you know have a pet with a unique talent? Write a report about that animal and what their talent is. This can be anything from a dog who plays frisbee to a parrot that sings your favorite song.

4.) If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be and why do you want one? Have you always wanted a boa constrictor or maybe you’d like to have a monkey. Give us as much detail as you can about your desired pet.

5.) If you’ve ever rescued a pet from an animal shelter or some other type of organization, tell us about it. What did you have to go through to get your pet? What was it about that particular pet that made you want it? Would you ever do it again?
