That depends on what the rest of your essay is about. You have to take the main points you're trying to make and combine them into one sentence. This is called a "thesis" or a "hook."

The sentence has to sound like you, so I won't make it for you. Plus, if it doesn't and your teacher decides to search your intro in Google or something, she'll get right to this question and know you cheated.

i think dog abuse is a good topicbut maybe be more general and you will probably be able to find more info so maybe do animal abuse instead. first i would write a lead to catch the readers attention (i save this for last until im finished with the rest of my essay) then give some background info about your topic like what is considered animal or dog abuse. After that you need a thesis for example animal abuse can be harmful in many ways including ___,____,and ____(fill in the blanks with the 3 main points of your essay these will be what the 3 body paragraphs are about and in the order they are written
