1. I have a beautiful dog like my friend does.

2. My dog is as beautiful as my friend �s.

3. I have a beautiful dog and so does my friend.

4. My dog is beautiful like my friend �s.

Note: Sentences 2 and 4 should technically be �like my friend �s dog � but it is common practice to leave out the word �dog � - this is an example of ellipsis and is very common in English!

I can �t think of any more variations!
