...Why You Should Adopt a Dog Throughout history, we have found evidence that dogs played a very special role in the lives of their human companions. Dogs have left their paw prints throughout time, even in ancient civilizations. Artists have displayed paintings and drawings, showing the bond of man and his oldest companion, the dog. Ancient burial sites displayed evidence of human love for their dogs. Canine skeletal remains, were often seen with their human remains. Many ancient graves were found to have dogs buried alongside their human, with treats, providing them with a little something to snack on in the afterlife. This evidence proves man’s best friend is not a 20th century ideal, but can be traced back thousands of years. (Lobell, J. A., & Powell, E. 2010) I have such a love for dogs, and am the proud owner of 6 rescue dogs, ages one to seventeen. I had a dog as a child, and she started the love story that I have today with my canine partners. I believe this is God’s second best creation, (behind man) and at times, I feel they are His best. I adopted my first dog from the ASPCA in New York City. Micky was an abused Poodle mix, and became my first dogs as an adult. I always loved dogs, but after adopting Micky, I became an advocate for rescue, and adoption. My life was forever changed. The sad statistics show close to 2.7million cats and dogs are killed each year in our animal shelters across the US. Many people have found it necessary to surrender their pets when...

...Why cats are better than dogs Many people today own a pet or some sort, but the most popular are dogs and cats. Everyone has their own particular reason for their choice of pet, but I prefer cats over dogs because cats are more independent than dogs. Firstly you never have to worry about trying to fit in 2 or 3 walks every day because with cats you don’t need that. For example, if you were tired or sick and you had a dog, you would still need to walk him/her. Or, it would cost money to hire someone else to walk your dog and it is a headache to arrange. Lastly you could put down enough food and drink and the cat would eat and drink when hungry or thirsty. A dog, on the other hand wouldn’t be able to regulate how much it should eat. Also a cat can go to the bathroom in a litter box, but a dog would need someone to take it out on a walk in order to go to the bathroom. Secondly cats are much quieter pets than dogs especially during times when you want to sleep or relax. For example; let’s say an individual has a tiring day of work and wants to relax. They finally get comfortable when their dog hears a sound outside or sees another dog and starts barking uncontrollably whereas cats keep any moods they have to themselves. Cats do not feel a need to share their opinions with everyone around them. They keep quiet and do not bother with meowing at strangers. When friends arrive at your home, a dog goes into frenzy, barking, leaping and pawing at the newcomer. While the dog does everything...

...Dogs Make the Best Pets Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. From tea cup size to giant size, from long hair to short hair and even hairless. With all the different breeds of dogs there is a variety of behavior and personalities and a variety of looks. But with all this variety there is one thing that stays constant – the love and companionship a dog gives. Regardless of the type of dog you chose your little furry friend will become your best friend, your family and if you let them will become part of your heart. There is no other animal that would make a better pet than a dog, no other pet provides more unconditional love and affection, and provides more social interaction and companionship than a dog. A dog expresses love and affection in so many ways, from the affectionate licks on our face, the intimate wagging of their tails, to their hugs when you come home. I cannot think of another species in the universe other than a dog that is capable of expressing their unconditional love and unwavering loyalty. When you think of a pet the two obvious choices that come to mind are a dog or a cat. Some people may try to argue that a cat is a better pet, but a cat does not greet you at the door like a dog, nor is a cat as affectionate as a dog. A cat is more independent than a dog, they tend to come around when they need something where a dog actually identifies with their owners mood. My dog can actually sense my mood and react accordingly; when I am sick or sad my dogs lie...

...Why Don’t We Eat Dogs? Franklin Salcedo DeVry University 01-27-2013 Why Don’t We Eat Dogs? What makes some animals better than others? Or better yet, why do we eat certain animals while it is a crime to eat others? It is questions like these that many people would hope to ignore forever or rather avoid. But as humans, these are the type of questions which define us as better beings and often challenge us to think and act in a way that’s worthy of our better capabilities, intellect, conscience, and hearts. If only an animal would ever speak or rise up the way many human rights activist did in the past in defense of human equality regardless of race or skin color. Surely we would have massive protests and riots from pigs, cows, lambs, goats, and many other animals whose rights are just completely ignore by the vast majority. It is sad to see that these rights are only applied in favor of a handful of animals, while others are locked away and confined to feedlots where the powerful meat industry obliterates their rights and turn their lives into profitable pieces of meat. Though it is legal by law, culture, and trade, the maltreatment and killing of these animals to feed the inhumane and greedy meat for profit industry must stop not only because it violates animal rights, but also because it promotes an agenda of animal abuse, exploitation, and unhealthy human nutrition for generations to come. Instead, the Government should partner up with animal rights activist groups and...

...Why Humans Should Not Feed Their Dogs Human Food American obesity is not only a problem for humans but also for dogs. Families have trouble denying table scraps to their best friend, especially when they are in the habit of doing it. Feeding a dog table scraps can not only quickly lead to obesity and behavioral issues, but it can also impair the dog's health depending on the types of food given to the pet. Even though there are a number of foods safe for dogs to consume, there are even more human foods that can negatively affect a hound's health. Most families do not do enough research on what foods are unsafe for a dog to eat. Americans love their canines and want to reward them with table scraps, but although it may seem...

...It wasn’t that long ago when the idea of drug dogs started to bleed into schooling across the nation. Not even three months ago, Northview Public Schools held assemblies across the district to inform their students about the new system being implemented with safety dogs. People throughout the schools made jokes and laughed about the idea, but now drug dogs are really here and are sniffing around the school. Drug dog supporters argue that the dogs make schools safer, while the opponents show downside after downside of these animals. Some argue that the dogs are making schools across the country a safer places for students. Throughout Michigan, “some 67 percent of middle school students surveyed said they felt safer since the dogs started coming“ (DeNisco web). The presence of these dogs are keeping students from bringing any sorts of drugs or alcohol to school, a distraction in a lot of classrooms. No longer will children have to worry about seeing another kid...

...I agree that we should be allowed to bring our dogs to the workplace. I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for dog lovers, and maybe even people who arent so warmed up to dogs. I agree that the employees are too stressed out at work to be able to contribute what they should be to the company. And if researchers say interacting with your dog makes you feel less stressed or anxious, then I believe bringing our dogs to work is a fantastic solution to this problem. Although, I believe that there are some important rules and speculations that would need to be set up first; Starting with the argument of employees that are not dog friendly. Just because some people react negatively to being around dogs because of an allergy or a past bad...

...Why do people chose certain breeds of dogs? Amanda Ware Department of English, Coastal Carolina University Abstract People are motivated by various influences when choosing the breed of dog that they want. It was hypothesized that people chose dogs for functional reasons rather than cultural reasons. According to research conducted through web research and a college class survey, the trend of choice varied between function and culture. The web research conducted showed a positive correlation than negative correlation of cultural influence rather than functional influence in choosing a breed of dog. The college class survey showed a stronger positive correlation than negative correlation of functional influence rather than cultural influence. The results of research suggests that the majority of people are more motivated by cultural influence rather than functional influence when choosing a particular breed of dog though the small survey suggested the opposite. Why do people chose certain breeds of dogs? We have dogs, but what are the motivations behind our choosing a particular breed of dog? Dogs play as part of the overall family picture for those of us that chose to have them. We buy dogs, adopt dogs, and are given dogs, but are we motivated by cultural or functional influences when choosing a particular dog? This paper examines these influences. Web research seemed to narrowly observe the topic of influence when choosing a particular breed of dog. The research...

...all animals equally. Statistics have shown that in developed countries such as the United States, animals such as dogs are treated far better than other animals. The question then arises, why do dogs get treated more diligently while other animals with the same mental capacity get slaughtered and consumed? By looking at "Let Them Eat Dog" by Jonathon Foer, the perception of why one should not think of dogs as superior animals and why the idea of consuming a dog should not be looked down upon in society will be thoroughly analyzed and examined. People in the United States think it’s morally wrong to eat dogs since it is a household pet. The same people who don’t eat dogs, eat other animals such as pigs, chickens, and cows, which is questionable because they still devour animals that are necessary to the environment and society today. In "Let Them Eat Dog" by Jonathon Foer, the author gives logical reasons on why we should eat dog, and why it is not harmful to the society in any manner. It's legal in 44 states to eat dog, and dog meat poses no greater health risk than any other meat. The problem arises is that a dog is labeled as a "man's best friend". Therefore, it is merely wrong to even think of eating a dog in the United States. Because pets such as dogs and cats are considered to be valuable in an average American Household, statistics show that 3 to 4 million dogs and cats get put down every year. Furthermore, the brutal killing of cows and pigs in slaughter houses...

...legislation is an act in which a certain breed of dog is banned from being reproduced or even owned in certain areas. This legislation mostly focuses on breeds traditionally known as "dangerous," or those that have demonstrated particular propensities for aggression and violent behavior (www.animallaw.info/articles). Though, there are many for this banning of certain breeds, but many are also against the idea; including President Obama. Along with Obama I too am against this act for many of reasons; it will not prevent dog attacks all together. By implementing the breed specific legislation, it is not going to change anything because the dog itself is not just the problem; the owners are a big part of it as well. First off, dogs are a product of what their owners make them. There are 78.2 million dogs owned in the United States alone and out that only 4.8 million have attacked; that is 12% of the population of dogs (www.humanesociety.org). Moreover, out of the 4.8 million dogs that have attacked most of them were raised and trained to attack by their owners. In the United States alone, dogfighting has been a big issue within urban areas. Dogs are put in a small closed off area to fight one another until one dog can no longer fight. The most common dog to be involved in a dogfight, and the number one dog to be banned, is commonly known as the Pit bull. What many people do not know though, is that the pit bull isn’t just one breed of dog. The American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire...
