Owning A Pet Dog Is A Beneficial Thing “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened,” states Anatole France, a famous poet and journalist, who has won a Nobel Prize in literature. Owning a dog is brilliant and needed at some point in a person’s life because a dog teaches you how to become more responsible and caring. They teach you these things by demonstrating them, themselves. First of all, a pet dog always remains loyal to its owner. Secondly, it can help it’s…

only cute, but also beneficial for your health. By reducing stress-related ailments like heart disease and diabetes, pets can actually raise your life expectancy. Very few people know that some countries even have an annual event called ‘Take Your Dog to Work Day’. The day which was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1996, made its way to the United States on June 24, 1999. Started with an aim to promote animal adoption, the event is now gaining recognition worldwide. According to a recent…

The Iditarod Is Mush Twenty-one dogs died in the Iditarod Dog Sled Race from 1990 to 1995 (Derr, “The Perilous” 119+). That is just over a span of five years. Now take into account that the Iditarod started in 1973. Innocent dogs were harmed when the race started and innocent dogs are continuing to be harmed today. Some people say that the Iditarod is an important part of Alaska’s history and that everyone involved loves it, but scientific studies have shown that dogs receive many injuries and…

“Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.” This is a famous quote by the famous American actor James Cromwell who acted in Star Trek and was the son of John Cromwell. This quote relates to a life-changing event in my life when I learned that sometimes pets help us realize that we have responsibility to this world. Two years ago on a hot summer day, we were just about ready to go. My dad, mom and sister named…

A review of current evidence on therapy dogs for children with autism by Berry, Borgi, Francia, Alleva, and Cirulli (2013) found that numerous studies report improvements in the child’s social functioning, motor skills, calmness, and language after the introduction of the therapy dog. They reported that several of the studies found that children were more likely to communicate with other children and adults when the dog was present. The authors conclude that these findings are…

Moreover, a story that I compare my story with would be “Dog” by Richard Russo. This story was about a boy who always wanted a dog. The boy’s name was Henry, who lived with his mother and father, who slowly split up without him knowing. Henry would bring up the idea of having a dog during breakfast, lunch and even dinner. He would constantly leave books lying around, so his parents would set eyes on them and change their mind about getting him a dog. None of that worked, which just made Henry…

Another service that the animal hospital provides is boarding pets whose owners go away on a vacation, or have family over for a period of time and do not want to worry about caring for their dog. A large fenced-in play area is found behind the clinic to ensure that the dogs boarding can go outside multiple times a day to get fresh air and get adequate…

Life’s a Fight I still remember the day I meet him; it was a hot and sunny day. our first class had ended, and I was putting away my Spanish class notebook. Suddenly, I see the principle coming through our class room door, but he was not alone. Behind him, there was twelve-year-old boy. His skin was light brown, dark hair, and with a friendly face. By the look he had on his face, you could tell this wasn’t his first time being the new kid. To be honest, I didn’t like something about him.…

not one second wasted on narrative “blank space”. But what happens to this model when the story a film strives to tell is a story not of action but of wandering? This question is raised by Iranian filmmaker Marzieh Meshkini in her 2004 film Stray Dogs. In order to tell this gripping tale of two Afghani children living on the streets of Kabul, Meshkini employs some tools of conventional cinema such as symbolism and allusion, but deliberately manipulates the pace of her film, creating a…
