0:13 Hi, Max. I need your help with something.
0:17 Sure Shawn. What is it?
0:20 I recently bought a dog. I think he has a fever. You have a dog for years so I thought you could give me some guidance.
0:27 Well...Which symptoms did you notice?
0:30 He’s been vomiting and coughing. He has also lost his appetite.
0:35 Oh! You should put some cool water to his fur, especially around his ears and feet.
0:41 That will help bringing the temperature down. But it’s important to take him to the vet soon.
0:48 Yeah I know. I have an appointment for the evening.
0:50 I just wanted him to feel comfortable till then. Thanks Max.
0:59 Hey Max. I need some advice.
1:02 What’s going on, Jimmy? Tell me.
1:06 I want to buy a pet. And I don’t know if I should buy a dog or a rabbit. Can you help me out?
1:12 I believe dogs demand a lot of time and care. Rabbits demand less from you.
1:18 You can keep them in a cage. But you have to take care of their diet.
1:23 I've heard that they litter a lot.
1:26 Yes, they do.. But they can be easily trained about that
1:31 Oh! Do you know any pet store where I can buy them?
1:34 Yup. There’s one on George Street.
1:42 Hey Katy. I need your help with something.
1:46 Sure Jimmy. What is it?
1:48 I bought a rabbit last week. I want to take him to a good vet for some vaccinations and other stuff. Do you know someone?
1:56 Yeah. There’s one on George Street near the pet store.
2:00 Do they treat rabbits as well? I’m a bit worried ‘cause I heard most vets are only good with dogs and cats.
2:09 A friend of mine had a rabbit too. She used to take it to this vet. He’s a good one. Trust me.
2:16 Ok. Thanks a lot, Katy. I’ll make an appointment soon.
2:24 Hi there, Shawn. How are you doing?
2:27 Hey, Katy. I’m doing great, thanks. And you?
2:30 I’m fine too. But I’m in a hurry. I have to get to the pet store before it closes. I need to buy some cat food.
2:39 What a coincidence. I’m going there too.
2:41 You are? I didn’t know you had a pet.
2:45 But I do now. His name is Mojo. He’s a German Shepherd.
2:49 Gosh, they are huge. I would never have a dog. I think they are too needy.
2:56 Yes, you are such a cat person.
2:59 And I never thought you were a dog one!
