Detailed explanation-1: -A: It’s not often we get grammar questions about animals-it’s even less often that we get one with two different answers. But that’s what we have here. An animal is referred as “it” unless the relationship is personal (like a pet that has a name). Then it’s OK to use “he” or “she” when referring to the animal.
Detailed explanation-2: -It depends on how you use it in a sentence. If it is part of the subject of the sentence and can be replaced by the word, “We” you say, “My dog and I”. If it is part of the object and can be replaced by the word, “us”, then you say, “My dog and me.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The definite article is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular. The signals that the noun is definite, that it refers to a particular member of a group. For example: “The dog that bit me ran away.” Here, we’re talking about a specific dog, the dog that bit me.
Detailed explanation-4: -Use “dog” in a sentence The dog kept barking all night. Do you want me to take care of your dog? I often take a walk with my dog in the evening. His dog follows him everywhere.
