While recently looking up Canadian laws, Animal Rights popped up and seemed very intriguing. From thereon, the Dog Owners Liability Act surfaced and it states “The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.” This law does make sense that the owner should take the responsibility of their dog because they were the ones who raised the dog to be the way it is but the one sub issue found with this law is the Pit Bull Ban. The…

Observation Essay They say “ A pet is always a great companion to have”. It is believed to be true because they are always there for you. In Los Angeles, there is a lot of stray dogs that are taken to a shelter to give up for adoption, that’s where my curiosity started and I wanted to investigate more about it . An Animal Shelter can also be known as a pound, regardless that’s where a lot of animals whether they are hurt or not are taken care of. When I think about Animal Shelter I think of…

You’d think that for someone like myself who is allergic to dogs ( I know, how disappointing ) that I would resent and stay as far away from them as possible. But I assure you its quite the opposite, if I see a dog I will quite literally make an A-LINE for it. 44% of households in the US have a dog as a pet compared to the 35% who have cats. Personally I just think dogs are the preferred species, be honest with yourself what do cats actually do despite bring you dead mice and sleep all day? As…

Most dog owners and lovers would agree that pets are like family. Each animal with their own personality, responses, and personal temperament. It is nearly impossible to create broad generalizations based solely on breed. Breed specific legislation, or breed banning, is an ordinance passed by local government basically outlawing a specific breed or group of breeds of dogs that are considered dangerous. Breed specific legislation is not an effective method for keeping the public safe from dog…

Girls play with Barbie dolls and boys play with monster trucks. Asians love Korean pop music and all Mexicans know the Taco Bell dog, right? As kids grow up, they are constantly surrounded by social media, television, celebrities, and other authoritative figures such as parents and grandparents. In this day in age, it is almost impossible not to judge a person based on how they look because of how media outlets characterize certain “types” of people. Michael Omi states in his writing, “In Living…

Can a writer ever truly be separated from their works, or is the inner context of their being meticulously woven within? Often authors inject their own personal conquests subtly into their works, giving readers clues to the writers’ personal lives. Chicano writer Dagoberto Gilb has published a multitude of works ranging from short stories to full blown novels, each assuming a pattern of distinct characterization and setting. One short story in particular, “Romero’s Shirt” tells the tale of Juan…

Humans have accomplished many goals through their advancements. People have come to the conclusion that not everything can be done by our own doings, other forms on earth play Dogs have heavily impacted the work forces of our American World. Since the early ages of World War I, Germans implemented War dogs before any other country. The United States had not reverted yet to this form of service in our military's; therefor, the only dogs that were apart of our team were the ones we captured from…

A Leap of Faith Sweaty palms, anxiety building inside the chest, face feeling flushed, all because of the one emotion that rattles more cages than anything else: fear. Fear has such a strong hold on each and every person in this world. It can drive us to do better in spite of it, or it can cause you to run as fast as you can in the other direction. I do not have many fears, but the one that trumps them all is heights. This fear has such a strong hold over me that I really was never looking to…

Cardinals are known to be red and Bluebirds are blue in color. The male bluebirds are a little bit different than the females. The females are…

“You don’t mess with bears, man. Bears are crazy.” My friend had used a more serious tone of voice than the tone we’d be using discussing the inanity of certain animals, such as squirrels or rabbits, when discussing his ursine fears. I looked up from the campfire at his suddenly fear-stricken face. I shook my head. “Bears? Are you kidding me? Bears are practically harmless, they pretty much only attack when they’re startled, or really hungry. Besides, bears are mighty scarce around these parts.”…
