What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a pet for children?

In most homes, where children live, there is also a pet. However, there are arguments both for and against it.
 
 
One of the main advantages is that children can interact with the pet and have more responsibility by having to deal with it. Another argument in favour for children owning a pet is that they learn whats is the love and they feel loved by the pet. Owning a pet is good for children with certain diseases because it is used as therapy.
 
 
On the other hand, depending on the type of pet they have, it can be dangerous for children and they are exposed to danger. Moreover, the child has not sufficient responsibility to take care of a pet, although this fact helps a little bit.

On balance, I would say that although they are positive in some ways of children's life, pets should be controlled when they are with them by the parents. However, I think that they are sometimes more affectionate that people.
