Central Idea: Recognizing what people often miss or misread the body signals that dogs give to communicate with humans and other dogs, which often lead to unwanted situations and injury.

One of the biggest dog busts of the century was in 2007. The man in charge’s name was Michael Vick, a quarterback football player in the NFL. Under the name “Bad Newz Kennels”, dogs were beaten, murdered, and gambled on. The dogs found alive were some of the most damaged possible. Missing parts of their jaws, lost eyesight, or non existent limbs, one would wonder why they kept going, striving for acceptance from their owner. These dogs, to the public seemed dangerous, after all they had killed their entire lives. However, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary was willing to take up the task of these gorgeous animals, ultimately saving their lives. The sanctuary took in 22 dogs, 10 of them, now adopted and living in homes of their own.Through rehabilitation the dogs were taught how to trust, interact and most importantly what love truly is with different trainers daily. Even the dogs who can not be adopted out are by any means not dangerous. Meryl, had been one of the dogs found who was deemed dangerous by the state, meaning she could not be adopted out to a home. Nonetheless, when walking into her kennel, dangerous is the last word you would use to describe her. One of her trainers remarks, "She really doesn't mind new people…. She's very happy and loving. I feel totally comfortable with her. I can grab and kiss her." As she embraces Meryl, "I am building a relationship, ...She needed to see that when

In his show "The dog whisperer", he shows key points in how to establish a good relationships with dogs. Some people believe that his methods are outdated, and they are strong supporters of positive reinforcement. One of the lead trainers of that method is Zack George, an American broadcast and dog trainer. In his YouTube channel he shows how to reward your pooch in responds to a good behavior.

The nature of the project prevented me from including cute pictures of dogs or videos of dogs being sweet. Since I could not include other media to make a empathetic connection I had to get creative. Ms. Virginia Morell used a personal narrative in her article for national geographic "How Orcas Work Together to Whip Up a Meal" (Morell). This personal narrative successfully created a empathetic connection between the Orcas and the audience. I decided to try the same technique, except from the dog's perspective. This created a personal connection as any human could have those same thoughts the dog had when observing other people. If I saw someone else act non-cooperatively I would not want to be friends with them, that’s just not nice. The audience might realize the answer to the "why does it matter" question. Dogs think like we do, and this was a very effective way of communicating

Firstly, it is important for owners to socialize their pets with other pets and humans at a youthful age. For example, Ariana Huemer, Author of Scapegoats and Underdogs shares a veterinarian formerly employed by HSUS, Leslie Sinclair’s, knowledge “A lot of pit bulls involved in attacks have never had the chance to be around people.” (Huemer). Thus, social isolation has devastating effects upon an animals behavior. Secondly, how the owner himself socializes with others will rub off on the dog.

“Isolated, his family deteriorating—“I couldn’t show affection, couldn’t hug my kids”—Soliz turned to the Palo Alto V.A. Medical Center” (Colin n.p.) “Soliz says his life is slowly coming back to him and he now can go to the movies without panicking—and hug and kiss his two kids” (Colin n.p.). Moore who explained in her dissertation that, “some of the veterans spoke of ways their Psychiatric Service Dog has bettered their relationships with other people, in particular through increasing interpersonal interactions, Similar to Ensayra and Love's (2008) finding of the dog serving as a "social lubricant”

Canines have the ability to serve as seeing-eye dogs, firedogs, service dogs or just a playful, loyal companion. The closer the dog and human’s relationship is, the stronger the feelings between them are. Canines have a talent of recognizing dangerous situation and being there for humans in their time of

There has been a long history with animals and their natural bonds with humans for many decades now. Dogs have helped people with a multitude of illnesses for some time now, however Americans were not the first to discover this natural trait in animals. The Germans during World War 1 were the first to discover this. In the book, History of Guide Dog Use by Veterans it states that the German army in particular “relied heavily on the use of German shepherds as ambulance and messenger dogs. The Germans reportedly used more than 25,000 dogs during World War I. ' these dogs were ideally suited for this type of work, with ell-known traits such as trainability, loyalty, intelligence, strength, and endurance” (Ostermeier 587). In today 's society, we have numerous people who are unaware of the services that animals can provide for humans. Specifically humans with mental or physical disabilities. In this paper I will present various types of service animals as well as the many services they provide.

Many of the people still in Mathew's life wanted to do something to help him. So A few people including me worked to get him a service dog named Frits. Frits is a dog trained to calm PTSD patients and help stop a flashback episode. When i brought Frits to Mathew, he didnt know what to do with him. Mathew had never had a dog and feared that if he had an episode, that he would hurt Frits. He was later proven wrong as Frits had kept Mathew from having a PTSD episode as Mathew and I were at a mall. A kid was running around popping a cap gun behind us which was causing Mathew to freak out. Frits hopped into action (literaly hopping) licking and push Mathew to get his attention. Mathew stopped freaking out and focused on Frits starting to calm down. Frits had started to give Mathew his life back away from the grip of his PTSD. Mathew was able to not worry so much on his PTSD with Frits around and with Frits's help he moved forward with his

The common emotion the two dogs caused the narrator is embarrassment because in the first paragraph the narrator quotes that “Scotch terrier named Jeannie was giving birth to six puppies in the clothes closet of a fourth floor apartment in New York had the expected seventh at the corner of Eleventh Street and Fifth Avenue during a walk she insisted the narrator take her.” This made the narrator embarrassed because she had the puppies on a walk in public. Then the French poodle was an embarrassing moment for the narrator when it was raining and the poodle had a red rubber bib tucked around her throat and he had to hold “a small green umbrella, really a parasol” and to top that, he walked into a garage with a man who saw the narrator carrying

Most dogs can act very unpredictable, especially in new surroundings and just like the author of the second article wrote, "some

It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
