A common belief is that poverty has improved because the previous poverty rate was 19 percent, and now it has…

Owning A Pet Dog Is A Beneficial Thing “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened,” states Anatole France, a famous poet and journalist, who has won a Nobel Prize in literature.
