There are many factors that come into play, the well-being of the pit bull, how they are treated, and how they were taught to act by owner or other pets or other pit-bulls. They can be…

Most dog owners and lovers would agree that pets are like family. Each animal with their own personality, responses, and personal temperament. It is nearly impossible to create broad generalizations based solely on breed. Breed specific legislation, or breed banning, is an ordinance passed by local government basically outlawing a specific breed or group of breeds of dogs that are considered dangerous.

When I was asked to write a guest post, I debated about a topic. Collectibulldogs.com has a wonderful collection of bulldog artwork, ceramics, glass, and books. Wiggles, the CEO, is a handsome bulldog and would serve well as a model for new art.

Today we have these loveable, loyal, stocky, muscular creatures with a squashed wrinkled face that is…

In Lafayette, Louisiana, two men were arrested for dog fighting and fifty-seven pit bulls were confiscated. Some of the confiscated dogs had scars from fighting, and just because of the breed’s reputation, all of the dogs were considered dangerous. The Louisiana…

The three advertisements are very much alike. They all contain the three persuasive appeals, pathos, logos, and ethos but in different ways. All the advertisements employed a labrador puppy to help establish the three different appeals. However, each advertisement used the labrador in different ways to appeal to the audience in different ways, either to be informed,persuaded, or entertained. The first advertisement, “2015 Budweiser Super Bowl commercial” attacked the audience with an…

We uncover new similarities between the modern world and the ancient world every day. An interesting part of ancient Roman history was the Roman appreciation for animals. Just as people all over the world today do, many Romans owned pets, especially dogs. Dogs are the second most commonly owned pet in the world today, after cats (which were actually not kept as pets in the Roman empire).
