Dogs are known as man’s best friend. Despite lacking the ability to talk, we understand them well. Buddyfruit, also known as “B-Fruit”, is a five-year-old male Pointer with a heart of gold. His family, the Whitfield family, brought him into their home almost three years ago. Cooper is a three-year-old male Golden Retriever with sad eyes and a joyful soul. His family, the Ruiz family, welcomed him into their family roughly a year and a half ago. From physical features, to aspects of personality, to history and background, every individual dog shares similarities and differences.

The U.S. owned-dog population is 78.2 million and it is growing steadily. With a population so large it is no surprise that the pet

13,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed annually with type 1 diabetes. Traditional care and management for this disease includes insulin therapy and blood sugar monitoring. One of the dangers associated with disease is hypoglycemia most commonly referred to as low blood sugar. To date 1 in 3 of the individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes will die from an undetected low blood sugar, mostly resulting from hypoglycemia unawareness while the child and caregiver is sleeping. The use of a scent trained service dog has prevented the loss of life for many diabetic individuals. Diabetic Alert Dogs are trained to detect fluctuating blood sugars

When Baby was a year old we took him to Pet Smart, so he could pick out some toys for his birthday. My mom had baked him a vanilla cake, and we had ice cream.

Man’s best friend: you would think that that title would conjure up images of humans, or even our closest cousins in the animal kingdom, such as monkeys, apes, and chimpanzees. However, the first image that enters most humans head is the same image that would have induced fear hundreds of years ago, the not so distant heir to the wolf: dogs. The same creatures that we feuded with for survival now take up a huge part of our lives and make up a large portion of the images littering the internet. Dogs take part in everything from movies to family gatherings, to search and rescue and emotional or physical service. Nearly fifty percent of American households alone have at least one dog, and between all of us we own 83.3 million dogs, a number not to be trifled with. The place our four-legged canine companions claim is undisputed and easily backed up.

For millions of years dogs have remained a constant companion of man. Bred from the aggressive and formidable Gray Wolf tens of thousands of years ago the domestic dog now lives in many homes across the world. Where in the far distant past the domestic dog was bred as a guard animal, a beast of burden, and even a food source the dogs of today are bred for a far more endearing purpose-companionship and love. Finding a pet dog that is more of a joy than a chore is necessary when asking: How much is that puppy in the window?

Still, a lot more are being euthanized. The industry has endured bashing from the animal rights groups that claim commercial dog racing is cruel and that many retired and slow dogs are wantonly destroyed (Mitch Stacy, 2007). Ideally, all dogs should be adopted instead of being euthanized. However, if all dogs were to be adopted as suggested by the animal rights group, the numbers would just be too many and it’s unrealistic. Apart from those that are being adopted or euthanized, a number of dogs have been gone ‘missing’ from the industry every year. Animal rights group believe that these dogs were being mistreated and killed inhumanely. To prevent this from happening, the new technology provides more accurate ways to identify dogs. Dogs are now implanted with microchip for identification. Through scanning the unique code by a reader, data including the dog’s health history, weight, breed, owner etc could all be seen clearly. This is much more reliable than the old system of using ear brands, which is far more difficult to read, and could stop any attempts to modify the dog’s weight, ability and identity, thus ensuring that they are not being mistreated (Dr John F Newell, 2006).

Thesis: Dogs are everywhere now and days that you see or hear about one almost on a daily basis. But, have you ever thought of personally training one every day to help benefit someone with special needs while receiving unconditional love? Well, today I am going to give you some details about the 4 Paws University

(Faulkner Property) Smaller pets may be outpacing cats and dogs, thus reducing the amount of food being consumed. Electronic pets such as ‘Aibo’ created by Sony might replace traditional pets, as they are improving and becoming more realistic. Also due to hygienic and easy-care reasons they might be preferred by the public.

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.

Animals play a very important role for humans. Animals from the early days have had an impact on humans in hunting, consuming and companionship. Animals are used for many purposes good and bad. Some animals are loved significantly and others are discriminated against. They are support systems and parts of families, but are also used in negative ways for entertainment, research and food. Canines have had a remarkable transition into the world day. From wolves, coyotes and foxes to the Labrador retrievers and poodles we know today. Different breeds have been favored by different generations and many dogs that were once “America’s Family Dog” are now being discriminated against. Animals and humans have gained a closer bond over the years,

Pets can fill a void in an owner’s life, by allowing them to nurture something and receive a sense of satisfaction. Socially pets have become so much a part of our daily lives that they are often treated as if they were children, some lucky pets even attend daily play sessions, and are treated to extreme indulgence; all to make their owner feel as if they were an infant or a child. Blind owners rely on their seeing eye dogs to guide them around wherever they go; they are trained to guide them past and around obstacles. The National Institute of Health states, “More than half of all U.S. households have a companion animal. Pets are more common in households with children, yet there are more pets than children in American households. There are more than 51 million dogs, 56 million cats, 45 million birds, 75 million small mammals and reptiles, and uncounted millions of aquarium fish” (np). Many movie stars and rich and famous people have begun using pets as a status symbol. Millions of dollars are spent finding the perfect and most valuable pet even to the extent that the original breed of animal has become unrecognizable or even extinct. This need for high status and perfection has resulted in safety risks to both pets and the people they live with. Inbreeding and tampering with cross genes in animals often result in an animal of inferior security and emotional stability, thus resulting in an aggressive and violent temperament. In an attempt to

IFetch has positioned themselves very carefully when it comes to their products. ICatapult is an innovative product that addresses a major complaint of dog-owners better than any of the competitors. The strategic marketing plan will be based on making this information available to the primary target market visually by point-of-purchase displays and graphically through creative advertisement through social media and magazines that sponsor innovative pet products. This strategic plan should allow ICatapult to stand out in a field of competitors that appear to employ no clear marketing strategy.
