These dogs eventually developed into the South African Boerboel dog. The South African Boerboel dog is very protective but…

Rough Draft We walked down the aisle passing by cage after cage, listening to the deafening sound of hundreds of dogs barking. Cheryl, the vintner coordinator, tried to tell us about some of the dogs, but with the amount of noise all we could do was nod and pretend like we understood. I kept my eyes open for dogs that would be fun to walk after our orientation. And out of the corner of my eye I saw a ghost of a dog. Since I was seven years old my family and I have fostered dogs for the Animal…

Using our communication and connecting it with theirs we…

The Scar On My Right Cheek Have you ever thought of something that you regret doing because you were really young and didn't know any better? At age three I was bit by a dog on my right cheek. It was a warm but cloudy day and me and my father were outside while my mother was out at work. While he was working i was doing what normal three year olds do. My neighborhood was quiet and had lots of trees hanging over people’s fences in their yards. Our backyard was huge to me since I was…

A happy dog is a well-trained, well-mannered member of the family and the community. Just as with children, dogs require structure and training in order to function and fit in with their humans. Training is not only beneficial to the dog but those involved in its life. Dogs will do anything to please their owners and frequently get overly excited and unruly.
