Monkeys House was awarded 2017 CNN Hero award.
Monkey’s house is making a difference to many dogs who have not been treated with kindness as ever dog in the world should be treated.
They are also making a difference by making the dogs feel like they be themselves and feel like they are at home.
As the saying goes, a dog is a man’s best friend. The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. This timeless relationship continues to evolve into new kinds of human-dog interactions that increasingly benefit society.
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 1925, the Scopes "Monkey" Trial captured national interest and the infamous moniker "Trial of the Century" due to William Jennings Bryan serving as part of the prosecution and Clarence Darrow serving as defense counsel to John Scopes with the social divide between science and religion serving as the backdrop, a controversy that has persisted to the modern day. William Jennings Bryan(henceforth Bryan) was well-known to the American people for his political involvement with the Democrat party and his passionate speeches as a Presbyterian. In contrast, Clarence Darrow(henceforth Darrow) was well known for his work as an attorney regarding labor law issues and his work as a defense attorney during the Franks murder trial, a trial that was also called the "Trial of the Century", where he defended Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. Between the involvement of these two titanic public figures, the social divide between science and religion only served to stoke the flames of public interest even further. In order to understand why the Scopes “Monkey” Trial was given the infamous moniker “Trial of the Century” and why it captured national interest, I have to discuss the historical context of society's belief
“While showing the love the dogs has brought great attention to our organization, we realized we can do more for the animal community as well. This epidemic has risen in recent years and needs to be recognized.”
“Veterans report that service dogs help break their isolation. People will often avert their eyes when they see a wounded veteran. But when the veteran has a dog, the same people will come up and say, 'Hi' to pet the dog and then strike up a conversation.” This quote from United States Senator Al Franken is a shining example of the power that a service animal can have to improve the quality of life for those with special needs who have a service animal. Imagine!

Canines also help improve a person’s social and emotional health. In the 2009 New York Times Magazine, Melissa Fay Greene, writes about Karen Shirk in her article titled, “Wonder Dog”. Karen Shirk, a thirty-year-old woman diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a rare neuromuscular disease, noticed the change in herself and people around her. Strangers greeted the tubed up woman in the motorized chair whenever her dog, Ben, her German Shepard, was around. The despair she said she had once felt was now replaced with optimism and ambition. In present day, Karen Shirk is now CEO of her own facility, which she named 4 Paws For Ability, for cognitively impaired adults and children. In Lisa Field’s article “ 6 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health”, Field’s
This can result in certain malpractices” (7). Hens agrees therapy dogs may help those feeling emotionally unstable, but at the same time argues that these dogs experience the same hardships during treatments.
Research with dogs from animal shelters and the practice surgeries will, in the long run, aid the lives of animals by training veterinarians.
Why did Piggy, the least liked of all of the characters, have such a large significance in the Lord of the Flies? The novel The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, was written during the Cold War but the novel itself takes place in the earliest stages of World War II. World War II, the time that the book takes place, was a war when Germany, Japan, and Italy joined forces to take over the world as the Nazis. Piggy, a overweight 12-year-old, with a large amount of knowledge and intelligence, playing the role of the character taken for granted. By far, Piggy was the best candidate for chief of the island but, they went for looks instead, they intentionally ignore his advice, and laugh at Piggy leaving him angrier than before.

One day monkeys ruled the world. Everyone was under the command of the monkeys. It was like the planet of the apes. All of the monkeys attacked all at once. They used mopeds.

When I was in fifth grade my cousin who had down syndrome had just died. I was very close to her and she had this Curious George monkey that she had in the hospital with her.
