You can add "do" before a verb to add emphasis. For example, you can say it to make sure someone knows, to answer a question, when you're excited, or if the other person doesn't believe you.
I had a pet.
A: Did you have a pet?
B: I did have a pet!

To make sure someone knows:
I'm hungry. I did have lunch today, the portion was just too small for me.
To answer a question:
A: Do you like cookies?
B: I do like them, very much so.
When you're excited:
I can't wait to unwrap my presents! I do wish someone got me the new video game.
If the other person doesn't believe you:
I know you haven't been able to tell, but I really do care about you.
