Purebred

my body earlier that morning to mask my natural, feral scent. Now I smelled like a purebred girl” (Russell 243). This passage proves, that Claudette undergoes wanting to fit in as she grows up because she rubbed a pumpkin muffin all over her body to smell more like a purebred girl, rather than her natural feral scent. In addition, since Claudette rubbed the pumpkin muffin over herself to smell more like a purebred girl, proves that she was trying to impress the wolf brothers, her pack, and the…

In “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves”, Claudette and the other wolves progressed through five stages of transitioning to the human culture. Along the way, some of them developed human traits. Claudette in particular had many signs that she was more humanized than her fellow wolf girls. As a result, Claudette was successfully integrated into human society. Although the first stage does not offer much detail or evidence of Claudette’s integration into human society, it still shows…

Imagine a small dog, alone in her cage at the animal shelter waiting for a loving family to adopt her. She doesn’t realize that this is her last day that she will be alive on this earth. She is scheduled to be euthanized tomorrow. Why? Because she’s a bad dog? No, it’s only because there’s just too many animals without homes at this shelter, and there’s just not enough room for her. Her time is up. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, “Approximately 5…

Cooper was only six months old when he was left in the streets by his careless owners and where he was forced to face the world all alone. He met another forgotten and lonely puppy named, Molly, and they ended up having a litter of puppies. These innocent dogs either ended up dying or hopefully, they made it to a shelter. Consequently, it only takes two unsterilized, abandoned dogs to lead to the overpopulation of dogs. Around four million helpless dogs die each year due to the shelters overflow…

Have you seen those adorable mini walrus puppies everyone is so crazy about these days? If you have, you probably have been smitten by their cuteness. And you’re wondering “Where can I get one?” But today we’re going to talk about something different. We are going to talk about the mini walrus temperament. When you get a dog, the most important thing you have to consider is whether the breed is the right one for you. Some dogs are energetic and need a lot of exercises. Others are lazy, and you…

where nothing was wrong, and viewed herself as a constant problem that ruined the flawless society. She thought that because she was mixed, she was a contiuous burden for her community. This is seen when she says “I want to be a purebred” (Nissel 98). By being a purebred child, she would be like everyone else in the world and would not have to trouble the people around her with constant questions like: which race am I more like?, Who can I play with?, And, am I black enough? As Angela got older…

characteristics that are appreciated. There are not any new breeds of dogs (golden retrievers and poodles can still breed, for example) but now there are purebreds and then several variations of mixed breeds. There is nothing “natural” about the silky-smooth fur, non allergen, or even the super sweet, loving personality…

my mom let me get a dog in the first place. Through almost 3 years of begging, building up money from summer jobs, and saving birthday money, my mother finally said yes to getting a puppy. We were not not ready to spend thousands of dollars on a purebred from an expensive breeder so firstly, we visited up the nearest dog shelters. Although there were other grown up dogs in the shelter, my mother said that if I really wanted a puppy for my personal self, I should get a puppy so that it can grow…

A dog is something I had wanted for majority of my life, I wanted a companion that loved me so much that he would risk his own life for mine. When that moment finally came, I could not believe how lucky I was. Until we visited the vets. I never expected our first visit to the vets to leave me with such devastation and anger as it did. As the vet told my mother and me of our newly adopted puppy’s detrimental musculoskeletal disorder, my heart tore. Visions of running through parks, swimming in…
