A commonly asked question by many scientists and especially pet owners is: Can they understand what I am saying? Having the opportunity to understand what an animal is trying to say to us can be very important, along with them being able to understand what we are trying to communicate. Because of the possible benefits of man and animal understanding each other, scientist have tried for many years to figure out what may seem like a simple question, but is, in fact, has still never been answered…

Makenzie Jensen 10/19/17 3rd hour/Barker Personal Narrative Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!! The birds are singing from the tops of the trees. Butterflies fluttering around me. The stream babbling in the distance. All I can see is green for miles. And beyond that are the mountain tops painted in snow. The chilly air blows my long, luscious golden hair out of my face. Shivering, I wrap the thick wool blanket I’m holding around me tightly. I am staring at what would be the most perfect…
Vanessa Romero Professor Lyons English 101 26 October 2017 Dog people vs Cat people There has been an ongoing amount of debates among people stating whether a dog as a pet is better or a cat as a pet is better. One can tell a lot about a person simply by asking just one question; Are you a cat person or a dog person? People who identify as being a dog person are often described as being out going and joyful. Someone who identifies as a cat person can be mostly usually described as being more…
There is an old story about a lion that was raised by sheep. This lion would eat grass like sheep and graze the landside like sheep because in its mind, the lion was a sheep. Regardless of the surroundings, the lion attended to its identity as if it was a sheep. But, one day while they were moving through the valley, the lion heard a roar from the top of the mountain. When the lion looked up from the mountain and saw the lion it recognized something in the lion that was similar to itself that…
All over the United States, animal shelters use the holiday season to their advantage. Large-scale shelters host donation drives asking for food, toys, blankets, money, or any other kind of help needed during the busy time. Another way the holiday season helps shelters is by bringing in excited families looking for an animal to adopt into their family. In an editorial called “Puppies for a Holiday Gift” Steve Reid, the advantages to adopting a dog from a local shelter, as opposed to buying…
The Equals When Brahma-dutt ruled Banaras, Bodhisatva was born as a lion. The lion used to dwell in a cave with his mate. One day, he stood on top of the hill and looked round for some prey. He saw some hares and deers frisking and playing in a meadow by the side of a pond. The lion gave a roar and ran down the hill towards the meadow. But as he ran past the pond he got stuck in a mire and the creatures playing on the meadow scattered away. Every time the lion made an effort to get out of the…
Each person has different tastes in animals, such as dogs and cats. People also have different preferences for art. James Herriot mixes these ideas together into one in his story, All Creatures Great and Small. Whether it was suturing a wound or the birth of a cow, it was beautiful. Precisely like art, all of the different colors are easy on the eyes and the different textures make for an entertaining experience. The art of Dr. Herriot's surgeries convey the theme that every small action will…
nourishing your pet the right way and the pet could get taken away from you as if they are a mistreated child. And that is just way too much for an animal (Shea). In the article, Personhood for Pets? How the Human-Animal Bond Has Evolved, Tanya Lewis mentions how dogs started out helping humans hunt. But all of a sudden (suddenly), people started treating the animals more like pets. If a dog is supposed to help a person hunt, they should not need personhood granted to them. The reason that dogs…
It was very odd to find a kangaroo in Conzano, a tiny town in the heart of the Piedmont in Northern Italy. Odd and confusing I felt, since I could not discern the grounds of such a concrete presence. Imperative is to stress that I mean “concrete” in two senses: the material (the cement of the moulding) in which this particular marsupial was made and hung on the lateral outer wall of the local bar, facing the main square; and its categorical ubiquity. The kangaroo was there and I could…
