One type of fallacious argument is called begging…

If one were to ask a young girl want she wants to be when she grows up, she would proudly say a princess, or maybe a rock star. I’ve never been the typical girl though and my answer was always different. Some days I wanted to be a dog trainer or a zookeeper and being a marine biologist wouldn’t be too bad.

It is also potentially hazardous for the dogs as it could lead to the spread of canine disease. Viruses like Parvo and Kennel Cough are very contagious and costly to treat. I would much rather keep my dog at home and know that he is safe and secure. Many people also love to feed their dogs whatever human food they themselves are eating. This can be harmful for dogs.…

Dogs loudly barking, howling, growling, whining trying to be heard by a savior to rescue each one from the horrid abuse.
