Before Reading

When you feed or bathe your pets while raising them, you might feel that animals need humans and get humans’ help all the time. But that isn’t true. Humans and animals have helped each other since ancient times. It was animals that played a big role when humans began farming and needed heavy things to be carried. In addition, in all countries of the world, there have been many stories about animals that fight against enemies attacking their masters or help their masters who have collapsed. Besides, there are a good number of animals that play a big role helping humans with various kinds of work. Therefore, it is not too much to say that humans and animals make history together.
