(Personal opinion)- I think it is wrong for him to do that….the puppy might run out of the shop and be lost!

A GOOD DESCRIPTION should sound something like the one below:This picture depicts a scene at a pet shop.
From the signboard, I know this pet shop is called ‘Jan’s Pet Shop’.
There are many children in the shop looking at the different animals. I could see there are puppies, tortoises, fishes and a parrot.
There is a boy who has opened the cage door and a puppy escapes from its cage. I think he shouldn’t have done that as the puppy might run out of the shop. To prevent this from happening again, maybe the shop keeper could have locked all the cages properly.
There is a man who is shouting at the boy for opening the cage. I think he must be the owner of the shop. He is seeing red that he seems to be giving him lightning glares while scolding him.
There is also a girl who is pointing at a puppy which she likes. She seems to be persuading her mother to buy her one which costs sixty dollars. From her mother’s expression, I think she is reluctant to buy her one. Maybe she thinks her daughter is not ready to own a pet at her age. I agree with her as it is a heavy responsibility to have a pet. Pets need a lot of care and time from their owners.
On the right, a girl and her father are amazed by the talking parrot which is saying, “Hello! How are you?” The parrot is so intelligent and smart.
In the background, I could see a boy choosing a tortoise of his choice and the shop assistant is helping him to net the one that he likes.
I think it is fun to have a pet but we should be reminded that having a pet is a heavy responsibility and we need to make sure we have the time to take good care of them.
