The Airedale’s correspondence with the family was satisfactory at best; consequently, due to the persistent biting, but as the narrator pronounced in paragraph two. “There was an advantage to being one of the family, for he didn’t bite the family as often,” and proceeded to announce, “Still, in the years that we had him he bite everybody but mother.” These exhibit the Airedale’s association with the family by examining the fact that muggs and the family were not too close for the reason of the consecutive biting. The Airedale’s relation with outsiders was horrendous at most for the reason being that muggs bites strangers even more than the family, as the narrator vocalized in paragraph two. “For he didn’t bite the family as often as he bite

If your dog is behaving uncivilized, and he’s constantly bouncing up, grabbing the leash and playing Tug with it. That’s the way canines release excess energy or built-up stress by mouthing, tugging and jumping. When your dog is excited, the leash becomes a portable tug toy of sorts. They may also bite the leash out of frustration. They want to run and explore and wreak havoc like any good puppy, but they’re held back by this annoying thing around their neck

How aggressive or skittish will a dog, who has been previously abused, react to a person they have never met compared to a dog that has never been abused? 100 dogs some known to have been abused, and some known to have not, will be approached by someone who they have had no prior experience to see how they react.

Instead of killing the dog, she could have just let him go. Take him some place far where he won’t remember home. Maybe there is a change he might live longer even when White Dog is old. Killing an animal that grow up with a family is part of a family. For the kid, the dog is one of their best friend. You don’t kill your children’s best friend just because there is a war coming up or your family need to take shelter and safety somewhere else. Some said everyone has the right to made decision by their own yet the mother does not even give White Dog any chances at all. In this world, even animal has a voice.

My first recollection of Baroque art comes from the image I have chosen before being fully introduced to the style and its contextual history. The Boy Bitten by Lizard offers so much personality from the model is a character matching with the symbolism. This also gives a glimpse to the artist personality. From what I have gathered there are two authentic nearly identical compositions by the artist which only adds to my intrigue for this work. I hope to explore more of Caravaggio's work and see if most of his paintings and sculptures have the cheeky identifiers expressive quality that he gives to this boy.The boy is dressed and posed in a more feminine way, such as the small white flower in his ear; which highlights his innocents and naivete.

Chekhov’s The Lady with the Dog title seems to point to how the main characters first meet each other, though the capitalization of the words Lady and Dog might point that it actually has another meaning. The title then would not be about how Anna was first known to Dmitri, but what their roles are at the beginning of the story. Dmitri was a dog, a man who seduces women and when he gets what he wants leaves with just memories of the encounter and no remorse. While Anna is a lady, well mannered, pure, and wholesome. The story follows the two and how their love for one another changes them, from a dog to a man.
