I think the answer is "Without proper hygiene, dogs can become matted and sick, just the same as any human being." because the main statement is "<span>Dogs can be strong companions, but they also have needs that many people forget to address." because the fact at the beginning is only a statement to get you reading... Hope this helps!

What are you asking, I don’t understand
Answer:
John Steinbeck.
Explanation:
John Ernst Steinbeck Jr, an American writer famous for his works on the lives of the people living during and around the Dust Bowl, said in his Nobel acceptance speech in 1962 that
"<em>The ancient commission of the writer has not changed. He is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement</em>."
His speech was a form of relaying a message that writers like him had to do in order to make known to people the various but harsh realities of life. His take on the migrant farmers' lives during the Dust Bowl in "The Grapes of Wrath" gave him a huge credit for revealing the truth and the lives led by these farmers.
