Marley & Me: Life And Love Of The World's Worst Dog

While reading Dr. Bruce Perry’s The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, I found the case of Peter to be the most interesting. At the age of three Peter was rescued from the inhumane conditions of a Russian “baby warehouse” in which one caretaker was responsible for the wellbeing of thirty wailing newborns (Perry and Szalavitz 218). This less than ideal solution for the issue of finding appropriate childcare left Peter and hundreds of other infants deprived of human interaction. During such a crucial period of brain development, this lack of attention had serious repercussions. Luckily, Peter was adopted by extremely devoted American parents who would help pave

Isolation can force an individual to make irrational choices by clouding their sense of cogent judgement. In Ross Sinclair’s short story, “The Painted Door,” the characteristics forced onto an individual as a result of confinement are clearly shown. Living on a small farm, John and Ann are faced with winter weather that is almost impossible to travel in. When their closest neighbor is five miles away, it’s hard for them to live in such a world where communication is sparse. Forced to live in such a world of isolation, Steven, Ann and John’s judgement to make rash decisions is limited and has a substantial impact on the individuals internally.
