Recommended: Essay on dog behaviors

Pacing up and down unknown streets I didn’t know where I was headed. I just kept my four paws moving. Door to door I would go and beg for food. Usually the people were really nice in the neighborhoods I explored but when I received nothing more than a lousy chicken bone I would rummage through every trashcan I could find. Not knowing how I wound up on these streets I just thought it was normal for the world to be my home. It was actually fun not having a set territory that I have to stay in like those “house dogs.” I am free to run and roam where I like. It does get lonely at nights but I am thankful it is the warmer time of the year. It makes sleeping outside every night easier. Most of the other “street dogs” describe me as the most masculine and handsome stud there is. I am just wondering if that is the case, how come I have not met me a little Lassie yet? Sleeping on a bench in the local park I get to see all kinds of Lassies. For the past couple of weeks I have laid my eyes upon this gorgeous long haired golden retriever. I think her owner really likes me considering she comes over and rubs my head and feeds me a treat on their daily walk. I can’t help but perk my ears and wag my tail when I see her. I just keep thinking to myself that I need to learn her name. All of a sudden my daydreaming is interrupted when I hear the sound of the dark truck “Beep. Beep.” I dig my nails into the bench and jump off with a quickness. As I am running into the lush greenery that surrounds the park I feel my throat close in and a sudden jerk pulls me back. I have been caught. Although I tried to fight the man by gritting my teeth and trying to scratch him, he threw me into a silver cage in the back of the dark truck. He slammed the dou... ... middle of paper ... ... My breathing became slow and heavy. I saw a trashcan in an alley and tried to rummage through it but I was too weak. I just layed there. I thought about the golden retriever, whose name I never learned, and how much I wanted to meet her. I fell asleep daydreaming about her. This sleep was different than all of the others. It was a permanent sleep. A sleep that I will never wake from. My body lied next to that trashcan throughout that night. The next morning my body was found by the man that rubbed my head and gave me treats in the park. My body was found by my long lost love, that golden retriever. All I could think as I looked down from doggy heaven was how gorgeous she was. I made it a promise to myself that day as a canine angel to look over her and whoever the canine stud was that she ended up with. I am still sure that our puppies would have been cuter though.

    Ruff! The Pit Bull is a very misunderstood dog that many think is a ferocious killing machine. After researching, I have decided that Pit Bulls are superb pets. Also the media will say that the attack is from a Pit Bull when it is just mutt or some other kind of dog. They do this because it is what people expect to see. With this reputation Pit Bulls are banned in some counties.

    The media’s attack on pit bulls started when drug dealers were chaining them up using them as a weapon against police. In the media Pit Bulls and portrayed as vicious dogs that attack owners, strangers, and children without warning. There are several other breeds that bite and attack, however you only hear about the pit bulls. For example if on day one a Lab mix bites a child you will see it in the newspaper the following day; day two when a Great Dane bites two adults you will see it on the news the next day; day three a Rottweiler attacks an elderly woman in her backyard and it is aired on all network stations; day four a Pit Bull Terrier bites a mailman and you will hear and see it on every station in the country.

    Pit bulls are adorable dogs who do not mean any harm. Some cities and dog shelters have banned pit bulls, for being to aggressive. Pit bulls are aggressive or defend themselves when they feel threatened. The way a pit bull acts is based on how its owner treats them, or trains them to behave. If a pit bull is raised in a bad environment, and encouraged with bad behavior, pit bulls might not like to be around other people, and could feel threatened. Some owners even train their dogs (mostly pit bulls but could be different breads too) to fight against other dogs. If a dog has been raised like this, people can not expect a dog to have good behavior around others. If pit bulls are treated nicely and put into a healthy environment, they can be one

  • Pit Bull Case Study

    An increasing number of pit bull attacks have occurred over past decade. People who are attacked by pit bulls always suffer serious injuries because of the pit bulls’ sharp teeth and strong muscles. In October 19, 2009, Dr Hugh Wirth who is the RSPCA’s Victorian president renewed calls for American pit bull terriers to be bred out of Australia. The current laws require owners of pit bulls to register their pit bull. While some people are satisfied with the laws because they think that they are safe, others disagree. From my own perspective, the laws should be improved. The government should ban these fierce dogs and wipe them out instead of just registering them. In my opinion, there are three reasons why I am in favour of Dr Wirth’s proposal.

    When I first arrived “Lisa” The girl that I shadowed told me that there was an emergency with one of the animals. It ended up that a one-year-old beagle ate an entire thing of metabolite, and then slowly started to die. The liver had shut down, and the heart rate was up to 300. Lisa told me that taking a thing of metabolite was like taking 50 cups of coffee at once. The owners of the beagle were there and bowling. The beagle’s name was Murry. Murry's body slowly was shutting down one thing after another. The owners made the decision the dog was going to be put to sleep. We got the dog ready to be taken out. They undid all the cords from the dog so they could take it to another room. I said goodbye to the dog, and then they took it into the other room so that the owners could be there when they put him to sleep. After that happened they then had to put a sleep a little hedgehog that had cancer on its mouth. We then did two regular checkups with one cat and with one dog. Those when great. After that we had a dog come in and it ended up having an affection that might end up killing it. I never heard the end result. The last thing that I did there was that a black lab had been bitten by another dog, and that dog ripped a hole in the neck of the black lab. The doctors had to perform surgery on the dog to close up the holes in the neck. They first had to clean it out with qutips. And blood stated to come out right then I was a little dizzy and I thought I was going to faint. But thank god I didn’t. I saw a cat get dental work on it. And a cat get a bath and they had to blow dry it and brush the hair while it was a sleep.

    She must be at Lady’s house!”. Now, Lady is the neighbor dog and she lives about two blocks down the street... “And how do you think on getting there?” I think to myself. “Just walk! I can’t drive, so that’s the only way to get there!” I notice that talking to myself is wasting precious daylight. Now I’m walking down the ditch, scouring holes, tuffs of grass, and anything that resembles and dog. Finally, I reach the house where Shiloh is supposed to be at. To my surprise, I spot a little white tipped tail running around a tarp shed in the driveway. “Boy! Shiloh is a speedy little thing!” I say in my subconscious. I take off at full speed, trying to be as agile as possible, dodging mess and clutter around the yard. As I round the corner of the tarp shed, I turn behind me to see a ginormous German Shepherd chasing me like a fox chases a rabbit. With the little energy I have left, I push my little legs to the max in an attempt to escape this beast of a k-9. I fall just short of freedom. All I can do is lay there, hoping the ferocious dog is just coming over to my side to lick my cheek in a kind manner.I see something that is branded into my brain for the rest of my life; a big, furry, foaming at the mouth, vicious animal is jumping with its mouth wide open, right for my foot. I see its razor sharp fangs plunge into my foot, through my sock and leather shoe. “So this is how it ends!” I think as the dog tries to rip my foot off. As I scream bloody hell, my sight is in slow motion, back and forth, back and forth goes my limp leg in Lady’s mouth. The rest goes

Then I stepped outside, into the warm, fresh August air, looking for Sugar. I glanced to where I kept Sugar, and couldn't believe my eyes. Sugar was not there. I ran to the place where Sugar slept, I saw that the leash was elegantly coiled up. I knew that Sugar could not have run away. I thought that she must have chased a deer or another animal. Then a disturbing thought hit me, Sugar might have been abducted. As I tried to push that thought out of my mind, I thought that my mom could have put Sugar out in the garage.

    A common stereotype of “pit bulls are vicious animals” used as an excuse for why parents will not allow their children to go over to a pit bull owning person’s house to play with other children. In recent times the pit bull has received a bad reputation from the media due to dog fighting cases and false stories. During both world wars the American Pit Bull Terrier was used for many military propaganda posters because of its powerful and loyal characteristics as well as held officer positions in the military. Many households, such as my own, find the breed to be the best pets for their families because Pit Bulls are very protective and loving dogs. Even though Pit bulls can have an aggressive behavior if not trained properly, I believe the American

    I stood there in amazement. A tingle surged throughout my whole body. It was a rush of excitement I had never felt before in my life. When my eyes hit her angelic little body, they froze and I couldn't think or acknowledge anything else around me. The world seemed to stop, hold its place in time, just for that perfect moment. While she slept I stared at this precious little angel. My hands quivered as I slowly reached down to touch her little fingers and feel the softness of her skin. I ran the tips of my fingers very gently across her smooth face, and right away, I fell in love. Then my brother said, "I can wake her up so you can hold her." I was ecstatic, I was finally going to meet her! As I held her, I stared into her gorgeous blue eyes and knew instantly that I would love and cherish her forever with all my heart.
