My Dog Is The Best Friend

As previously mentioned, I have always been drawn towards animals. At the age of six, all the way through high school, I was determined that I was destined to be a veterinarian. Growing up I watched dog training shows and learned about different animals. All of my favorite movies had talking animals in it and given human-like qualities. The more knowledge I gathered, the more I believed animals had rights. I treated all of my pets with love and formed a bond with them, even my pet fish. I used to watch Animal Cops on Animal planet with my grandma and was always appalled at the mistreatment of animals. They have feelings, thoughts, even memories, just as we do. Or, more specifically, just as children do. My dogs in particular have always been my children. The one I have now is more like my baby than previous dogs. We have formed a bond, just like the bond a mother forms with her baby. Pets become part of the family and the best

“A man’s best friend,” that is the relationship we tend to think about people who love dogs like I do. For many years, dogs have played a vital role in society, acting as part of a family, a “best friend,” and a guardian. Human beings tend to have a strong relationship with their pets to the point that they care for them as if they were their own child. Coming from a dog owner of many different kinds of breeds, dogs have always played a large role of my life growing up. One of the most first-rate dogs I’ve ever got the privilege to have and care for was a full grown German Shepherd; a very unique breed who has been loved and recognized from many places around the world. The German Shepherds are a very intelligent and active breed, they well known for being protective, powerful and very active, but the main reason they make such a great pet is because their obedience.

My dog is a Yorkie he is brown and golden his name is halo we did not name him halo because of the game we named him is 2009 so we did no even no that game was a thing we found his name on a website and we liked that name so that is why he name is halo.

My artifact is brown and black with almost 2 decades’ worth of memories; this object is my stuffed Rottweiler named Max. This artifact, although motionless with four legs, has walked to the moon and back with me as a child full of imagination. This artifact stores the most precious memories and has been with me at every step in my life. Max is very meaningful to me because we have shared many memories, from birth until now. My stuffed animal has been with me through every ups and downs in life, every change that has ever occurred to me, has been a part my past and present; and represents my future.

Dogs have been a companion for humans throughout history. There are currently 161 breeds which are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) registry (Why Purebred?, 2013). Add the total of mix breeds and the number of dogs the ASPCA rescues daily, and there are a countless number of dogs in the United States. Unfortunately, since dogs do not have the ability to speak, they use their mouths and paws to communicate. Dog bites happen. According to the ASPCA, there are approximately 4.7 million dog bites estimated every year (Dog Bites, 2013). Based on these estimates alone, dog bites raise public health and public safety issues in many cities across the country.

Growing up, my Grandparents had a Golden Retriever named Chief. Although he wasn’t really all that golden, he was more a rich copper red color. As kind and as fluffy as he was we were best friends from the beginning. Even after I got my own dog I was still infatuated with him. One Thanksgiving when I was around five we were at my Grandparents house. I played with him outside until my Mom hollered “Elizabeth! Time for dinner!” When we finally sat down for dinner, Chief was at my feet under the table and I snuck him food when the adults weren’t looking. After dinner, my Grandpa, brother and I went on a walk with Chief. Before we left I begged and begged for my Grandpa to let me hold the leash by myself. He finally said “ how’s this for a compromise, I’ll attach two leashes so both you and your brother can hold him.” I reluctantly agreed.

Approximately thirty-seven to forty-seven percent of households in America own a dog. With nearly half of the country owning this pet, it makes me wonder, what is so special about them? I personally own an exceptional Rottweiler named Mocha, and I must say I cannot imagine my life without her. I believe that dogs are outstanding pets to have for two main reasons; first of all, they are beneficial to the owner’s health, and second they provide their owners with protection from a multitude of dangers.

The last objective the members will obtain is canine companionship. Stern, Donahue, Allison, Hatch, Lancaster, Benson, and Peterson (2013) announce how associating with an animal companion can reduce loneliness, anxiety, depression, and can improve an individual who is suffering from medical problems overall health (Stern, Donahue, Allison, Hatch, Lancaster, Benson, & Peterson, 2013). Finally, this companionship will help the member establish trustful relationships.

In October of 2014, my mom andI had begun to discuss adding a fur baby to out family. We had the original intent of getting a Rottweiler, a sweet dog with a big bark. Of course, things don't always go as we intend them too. A different breed was immediately pushed on us when we mentioned we wanted someone protective, but still sweet.

Dogs will always be your best friend. They will always be loyal and loving to you as long as you treat them right. You must always remember that taking the responsibility of loving a dog leads to the responsibility of handling a loss when it is sure to come around. It doesn’t mean hesitate from getting a dog, it just means appreciate every second you have with

Finding the dog you want at the Humane Society may take patience, especially if you want a smaller breed, or if you want a breed that's fairly rare. Here in Portland Oregon and in many other large cities around the country the Humane Society always has Labrador retrievers, pit bulls, chow chows, Rottweilers, Australian shepherds, Border collies, and various mixes of these breeds. You sometimes find a golden retriever, and very occasionally an expensive purebred, such as an English bulldog or West Highland terrier. During a recent trip to the local animal shelter I saw a Boston terrier mix that looked just like Henry J, the mutt I grew up with -- I would have taken him home, but someone beat me to him. Labs and Lab crosses are one of the most

Did you know that we are losing love in the streets? There are many dogs without owners that are fighting to survive. These creatures called “Man’s best friend”, are suffering of not eating; they are getting diseases, and dealing with other obstacles. They are faithful friends that would die to defend their owners. But, what are we doing, as “the best friend of the dog”, to help them? Absolutely nothing, just feel sorrow of them. Well, if we help them, we will not change the whole world, but we will change the life of dogs. Also, caring and adopting them provide benefits not only to them, but also their families.

“If I can’t act, I would go to college and maybe be a veterinarian.” There was a young girl, animals were always a fascination to her. At a very young age, she knew that she wanted to be a “doctor” but she was not very sure until the age of 12 that she suddenly knew that she wanted to be a veterinarian. Trips to the zoo were more fascinating to her than the average child. Growing up in her teenage years, she discovered that as humans, they share the Earth with many different species, our looks differ, our languages differ, some of the ways they choose to live and survive are very different and that humans seem to be “better” than the animals.
