Working dogs

development of machinery that transformed the nation. Parts of the world began to thrive and invited the change; other parts never had the chance to change. As more machinery was developed, common industries were greatly affected which impacted the working class. This caused many people to find new jobs; some traveled into the Yukon territory in search of gold . During this time period the population was becoming more accustomed to sedentary lifestyles, and not many people wanted to venture out…

have owned a total of four dogs and two cats in my short eighteen years of life. To say the least, I’ve always loved animals, specifically dogs. They’re fun loving, easily excitable creatures who bring out the best in all of us. Unfortunately, many of them are without families living in pounds and worst, some are living in abusive homes. After many years of weeping to Sarah McLachlan's singing, “ In the Arms of an Angel” and promising to help save the lives of the many dogs and cats without…

Arianne Rodriguez ENC 1101a Another wonderful morning; today, I woke up very, very, very anxious, like a dog, when he hears his owner arrive. I opened my eyes so fast, and I began to sing very loudly: She will be loved by Maroon 5, one of my favorite songs, and also, one of the most romantic, lovely, tender… video clips which leaves me with goose bumps. My boyfriend was sleeping and said to me very strongly: “Ari, coooono…es demasiado temprano, podrias parar de cantar y de moverte al…

to sleep thinking it was just too early, but she just couldn’t due to the sounds outside the barn. Her parents were herding the sheep with their loud and fierce barks. It was a very interesting and wonderful sight to see them working. Being a sheepdog is a tough job. The dogs must gather the sheep first, then lead them into their pen. Pearl had made many attempts to be a good sheepdog, but failed miserably as she was too young and playful. Her parents and older siblings were really good at their…

breeders. The first reason Helene explained for the reasoning behind adopting from a breeder was the fact that she wanted a purebred dog and not a mutt or mixed breed (1). Helene explained from her blog post on September 23, 2014 that she chose her dog because “he comes from a long line of well bred, award winning, working Dobermans” (1). The idea that she can have a dog from a pure line and award winning background seems to be more important than saving a helpless animal’s life from the…

You’d think that for someone like myself who is allergic to dogs ( I know, how disappointing ) that I would resent and stay as far away from them as possible. But I assure you its quite the opposite, if I see a dog I will quite literally make an A-LINE for it. 44% of households in the US have a dog as a pet compared to the 35% who have cats. Personally I just think dogs are the preferred species, be honest with yourself what do cats actually do despite bring you dead mice and sleep all day? As…

Roll Over U is a dog training business owned and operated by Cindy Peters. I originally stumbled upon Roll Over U (ROU) while I was looking for a job at a dog boarding facility. I drove down highway 18 to get to her small facility and walked in with a resume in hand. Inside it was homey and the kind of messy that made you want to kick up your heels and relax. Dog toys were spread out throughout facility and a good dusting was in need. She wasn’t hiring, as she didn’t have the means to hire…

Companion animals are defined as “domesticated animals whose physical, emotional, behavioral, needs can be readily met as companions in the home, or in close daily relationships with humans”. The American Veterinary Medical Association has outlined the principles of animal welfare that guide many national organizations in their work. These…

staring solemnly out the window that faced the highway. He was the only dog that didn't frantically bark at the humans when they walked down the aisle. My son Jaime fretted over the fate of the other dogs in the shelter. He asked the volunteer if ours would worry about them after he left. “Dogs don't worry about things in the past…
