Dogs tend to tilt their heads when they see or hear something new to them. Even viral social media videos are able to capture this adorably odd canine behavior. It may look too cute that may make you go “awww”, but there is more to it than we think it is.
According to Dr. Meredith Stepita, a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, dogs tilt their heads because they think what they heard could be something important to them, such as a favorite activity. Because dogs can somewhat understand some human language as well as how it is said, dogs might be “concentrating on picking out a keyword or inflection that relates to their favorite activity” such as a morning walk with you, a game of fetch, or a good bath, which may explain

"The world is a funny place, no? Sometimes you pick your dog. Sometimes your dog picks you." This quote by Vanno emphasizes the true love, friendship and connection between a man and a mans best friend during the famous movie, Red Dog.

Red Dog found his way into the hearts of everybody he meets, bringing people together, certain find love and others find themselves.

Pit Bulls are wrongly accused and killed for false actions due to countless, untrue stereotypes created by the actions of humans. Pits have been treated as the outcast of dogs for years now and it has to stop. A numerous amount of innocent dogs are being killed for these false statements. Many states have already issued BSLs or Breed-Specific Laws against Pit Bulls, these laws often have no specification of the dog itself just if it resembles any of the physical characteristics of a Pit Bull.

“We the Animals” by Justin Torres, takes place in an upstate New York town with three half breed brothers, their Puerto Rican father along with their white mother. Their parents were overworked and absent from the kid’s lives’ most of time and lack to provide food, companionship and safety. Throughout the book, Torres uses brief, evocative descriptions to create a picture that can interpret hidden meanings from a child’s perspective. Not to mention he describes his characters with animal-like qualities, animals such as, raccoons, geese, and wolfs.
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that all people would be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Well, I have a dream that all dogs will be judged by their integrity and not by their outward appearance. Unfortunately, pit bulls have suffered for many years because people continue to believe the faulty stereotype that all pit bulls are aggressive. The truth is many individuals aren't informed about pit bulls. Many people believe the pit bull is a specific dog, but the pit bull describes different dogs including the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and American Bully as stated by the Villalobos Rescue Center. A typical pit bull is strong, athletic,
The television show “Blackish” on ABC has an episode that speaks to this topic directly. In this episode, a father tries to help his son make friends. To do this, he mentions “the head nod.” He explains that most, if not all black people discreetly nod at each other in public. Doing so makes them feel more secure when they are in a situation that makes them a minority.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that 4.7 million Americans suffer dog bites a year, 6,000 of them are hospitalized, and 12 end fatally. Originally, pit bulls were bred in England in the early 1800’s. They were bred for “bull-baiting”, or in other words, fighting bulls for human entertainment. After this was later banned in 1835, organized dog fighting became the new trend. Pit bulls are generally considered the most powerful dog ever developed.
Rats. Most people view them as unsanitary and dangerous animals that dwell in sewers. These stereotypes lead to a general hatred of rats by much of the world’s population. Most people have never had a positive encounter with a rat. As someone who owns a pet rat, I feel it’s my duty to educate people and prove stereotypes wrong. Rats make excellent, clean companions who can come in a large variety of appearances. Positivity about these lovely creatures needs to be spread, and they should be purchased for a bigger purpose than food for snakes. Stigmas should not be developed against something, especially an innocent living creature, until you’ve obtained all the facts and have personal experience.

On paragraph 15, it also says “reward his achievements with treats and prizes.” Owners give the dog treats to make the dog feel good about himself and encourage the dog. Overall, the author stated “Dogs loves flattery. Flattery will put the dog in a good mood and it will be easier to sit, stay, heel and come.” For example, you would flatter your dog so it would stop giving bad behavior. Therefore, it is important to know how to teach your dog

In contrast, "Reverse Sneezing" looks like a sucking in of the lips accompanied with a shaking of the head motion (these are not the only symptoms or reverse sneezing--but the most common symptoms). If your dog's sneezing symptoms appear more serious, or, are accompanied by other symptoms or signs of illness, owners should take their pets to the veterinarian for further
