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…

conversation with your dog? Well you can. Just not the way you think. Dogs will never be able to speak English, but you can communicate with them through their language, you just have to pay attention to their cues.

Using our communication and connecting it with theirs we can figure out, that the dog…

Have you ever wondered why a dog does what it does and wished you knew what they were saying? The basic body signals that dogs use to communicate are often misread by humans. If we keep correcting our dog for giving warning signals and properly communicating his unease, he will eventually skip all the warning steps and go straight into an attack the next time he feels threatened. Because of this misunderstandings, approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every…

Understanding the Spectrum of Jealousy in Dogs The article my group picked was “Jealousy in Dogs,” the experiment was conducted by Christine R. Harris and Caroline Prouvost out of the University of California, San Diego. The article was published in July of 2014 by the Public Library of Science (PLOS).

to pick a delightfully disgusting topic today. So, for the genuine glory of basing all of my essay on a pun, I 've chosen to focus on my pet peeves. Specifically, the focus is Kimber 's altercations with the toilet, the bad idea of having a black dog in the middle of the night, and Callies ' nose issues. The tantrums of pure anger begin with Kimber. Before the next part, I should specify the problem a little bit. Kimber has long jowls that hang down on either side of her face. This means…

It is also included in the article that “human salmonella contamination is linked to dry dog and cat food between the times of 2006-2008.” The article "What Is Safe to Feed Our Pets?" quotes “pets are no longer ‘just a dog’ but a full-fledged member of the family.” If pets are no longer “just a dog” but a fully-fledged family member then why do they have a poor dietary consumption, which would be unfit for a human too.
