I agree with you Parker that the statement, "Dogs are often called 'a man's best friend'" is a fact because it is quoting the phrase that some people use when talking about dogs. I also know it is a fact because I have heard many people use this phrase in the past in movies, books, and on television shows.

For the sentence (dogs are often called mans best friend) is a fact because you can use any reliable source like the internet to look up dogs are often called mans best friend. For the sentence (they make wonderful pets and companions.) is an opinion because you couldn't have prove and people might disagree.

a). Dogs are often given the name 'mans best friend'
b). Dogs make wonderful pets and companions.
letter 'a' is the answer because on page 4 it states that many dogs are referred to as a mans best friend.
number '2' is not true because some people may be allergic to dogs. Andd some may just not like them they prefer cats.

Sentence A is a fact because it says on page 1 ;Dogs are often called mans best friends and often means sometimes. Sentence B is a opinion because some people can say no or yes. I disagree because some people can say :No they don,t make wonderful pets and companions.

I found lots of facts and opinions but i just put 2 fact and 2 opinion so here is what i found.
on page 15 the last sentence it says 'Animals are truly our best friends ' it is a opinion because not everybody in the world agrees with that i agree with it because i love dogs but somebody in china might not .Also on page 3 it says ' How ever ,other animals are also helpful to people .Now for a fact on page 5 it says 'Tiny horses can guide blind people like dogs can.

Dogs being called a "a mans best friend" is a fact because they are not just here in our society to be petted and called stuff like "cutie pie" or "sweetie"or anything like that. They are here to help us do things like save lives,fight,hunt,guard,serve(as in do stuff like pick up the phone) and guide the people with diabilities.
