Corrected:

I haven't really had a special relationship with an animal, but I have had quite a lot of pets before. When you are alone at home, you can talk to your pet sometimes they seem to understand what you say to them. 
When you are feeling sad, you can talk to the pets and they are always a good listener. They won't talk back to you, even though they can't make suggestions to you. But just having it to listen to your heart may be better if you want to solve your problem yourself.
For a pet, you can take it wherever you want it, as long as it is allowed, but you can't just take one of your friends with you. For example, you want to go for a walk at the park at 11 o'clock at night. Not a lot of people is able to go with you or they don't even want to go, but a pet can.
