USING 'HE' OR 'SHE' FOR ANIMALS.

Sometimes animals are also called "SHE" or "HE" especially when they are thought of as having personality,intelligence or feelings. This usage is very common especially when we talk about pets and domestic animals.

"Go and find the cat. She is very clever."
(In this example, "she" denotes the cat.)

We have a cute dog at home. We call him Jimmy.
(In this sentence, "him" refers to the dog)

She had an old dog who always slept in her bed.
(Here "who" stands for the dog)

Dearest Jacob ji,

I read a statement and found it very interesting. Just to share the thought with you. Have a look:

"Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." Remember this always in life".

With loving regards,
Pooja
