than my chores, which is keeping my room clean and folding my laundry. I think I might start being responsible for my lunch and save my money to put towards the dog, so there isn’t much of a reason that I shouldn’t get one. In addition, I may get a pet fish to prove I am responsible for a…

Guinea pigs are unlike most other rodents, they are small and they are easy to take care of. Other animals require a lot more of work but guinea pigs are simple pets to care for. They are easy on your pocketbook meaning that they do not cost that much. Also guinea pigs can adjust to your schedule than other animals. My research will show that the guinea pig evolution, appearance, habitat, lifestyle, and diet and prey make the guinea pig one of the most interesting Rodent to learn about. The…

Service dogs are trained since they were puppies about eight weeks old, and are traditionally better behaved than pet dogs. Service dogs also receive more public access. Pet dogs cannot enter a restaurant or store -with the exception of pet stores- no matter how well behaved the dogs are. However, a badly behaved service dog can be made to leave. Also, certain pet dogs wouldn't make suitable service dogs and wouldn’t meet all the qualifications if they were trained like a service dog. The…

The Adventures of Poopy the Cat and Stupid Dog Once a long, long time ago, there was a cat named Poopy Butty and a dog named Stupid Dog You Make Me Look Bad. They were friends from France, but they weren't your typical pets. They were special because they could speak French and could understand some english. They moved to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania using their private teleporter, in hopes that they will get adopted. They arrived on April 1, 2167. Poopy and Stupid Dog were walking down the…

The relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time because wolves became dogs and dogs became pets. A long time ago dogs had been wolves and they were ferocious. They were human and animal killers. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, humans regarded wolves wary of people, wolves sometimes preyed on humans. At some point in both…

There’s nothing better than coming home to see the happy wag of your pup’s tail or hear the smooth purr of a cat. Some of these pets have a job though; they lead the blind, locate objects, open doors, and can even sniff out bombs while working with the police. However, these friendly faces are not just pets, they are service animals. A service animal is defined as follows, “Dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities” (Service Animals). This one…

the result of irresponsible backyard breeding. Shelters euthanize millions of these animals every year in the U.S. due to the lack of adoption because a large number of people would prefer to buy a pet from a pet store or private breeder causing the shelters to overflow with unwanted animals. Adopting a pet is an action that everyone should practice, or at least give great consideration to. I argue that by performing this action, we will not only bring ourselves satisfaction…

The Good Deed I walked into Amwell Pet Supply to restock on hay and kibble for my new pet guinea pig, Chestnut, and my new pet rabbit, Butterscotch. As I turned around, many cages of cats caught my eye and the cats’ loud purring resonated in my ear. I passed each cage noticing a grey cat, a black cat, and a orange and white cat that reminded me of a tiger. They all had a clean finish to their fur, like that of recently trimmed hair. However, as I continued walking, I noticed a cat different…
