After my cats passed away I wanted to get a new pet to take away the sadness of losing them. Unfortunately I was starting to develop an allergy to cats, and decided I wanted a dog instead. I knew my mom would agree to getting a dog because she would want me to be happy, but to my shock and disappoint she repeatedly said no. My mom said no because I was going to college in a year, and she didn't want the responsibility of the dog when I left. I decided to just accept her decision, and decided to just hang out with my friend's dogs.
One Friday in July I had another argument with my dad over a small disagreement, and I drove to my grandmas like I always do when we argue. In addition to the argument I also had a bad week which caught up to me

After spending over a week with Roxy and connecting with I felt like she was my own, and wasn't ready to give her away. However I promised my mom I would take her back, so I drove her home, but I staged at her house because I didn't want to leave her. When I walked into the door wuth Roxy my cousins ran to steal Roxy because they missed her after not seeing her for a week. Roxy was so excited to see everyone that she started jumping on all the furniture, and running crazily thorugh the house. Since I hadn’t seen my cousins or grandma for over a week we decided to take Roxy to the dog park that was 2 miles away. When we arrived at the dog park there was already 3 dogs insidr, and I fell in love with the dogs that remided me of Huskies; since my dream dog is a husky and golden retriever. My cousin walked Roxy in which was a struggle since the other dogs were trying to escape the gate. Roxy was excited to meet new friends so I took off her leash, and she instantly ran to play with the other dogs. The other dogs kept visting me on the table while I was monotring Roxy, and I secretly wished I could take the them home. After the dog park we all got ice cream which completed out perfect
Most people like dogs more than cats. I like dogs more than cats. More than half a million people in America like dogs as pets more than cats.
So my mom and dad wanted another boxer so we got Maggie. Before we saved Maggie my dad, sister, and I all wanted a dog so my mom brought us to go get Maggie for our christmas gift (we were all excited). When we got back Maggie was very excited and she was jumping and licking me, but that night she ripped up everything. When we got up my mom and dad were very mad at her. Since it was only her first night my mom and dad were not that mad, but that day we went to the store and bought a cover for our couch so it would not happen again.
“Buddy and Ty donate time to a literacy program. Link provides therapy for people with disabilities. For years, Ben brought cheer to nursing home patients. What’s unique about these volunteers? They all have tails. And four legs” (Kolich 2). Service animals are a big part of most communities. These animals are trained to perform certain tasks to help those that need them. The world of service dogs involves not only working with owners, but also working around business’ policies, and being aware of the laws against service animals.
Did you know that five million to seven million companion animals enter shelters nationwide each year? Spaying and neutering pets needs to be supported by more communities of people. The American Kennel Club (AKC) is opposed to mandatory sterilization, they state that it, “creates a hardship for responsible breeders.” Spaying and neutering is typically seen by a majority of the population as inhumane and an unnecessary violation of animal rights. The American Veterinary Medical Associations recommend that state and local governments develop effective dog and cat population control programs. Who is to decide what is “effective” enough for the populations, and how would it be done if spaying and neutering is not supported? The spaying and neutering

Do you want your dog to die? What if it bit someone, then how would you feel? Would that bite change your opinion on your dog? The law says it should. There are around 4.5 million dog bites each year and 850,000 of those people require medical treatment. The law recommends that each dog is euthanized for biting someone, which is the act of putting an animal to death or allowing it to die by withholding extreme medical measures, but is it really necessary? According to Dog Bite Law, 850,000 of those people required medical treatment, the other three million six hundred fifty thousand dogs shouldn’t have to be euthanized for what they did. Many people still view these vicious breeds as reasons for discrimination against owners. Dogs shouldn’t
I woke up Tuesday morning excited for the day I was going to spend with my mom. I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking fresh coffee listening to my mom and aunt tease and joke around about how paranoid my mom was about doing well in her classes, my aunt was telling her that maybe now that I was there, she would relax a little bit and have some fun. Our plan was to go to one of mom's classes with her, and then on a tour of UNC and then we were going to go to dinner and a movie.
Cats are better than dogs, and you don’t have to do much either. First, cats do not have to be trained. According to an article written by Dee Em called “Why cats are better than dogs,” it states “dogs have to be trained not to jump on people.” Dogs can be quite an annoyance to train. A cat doesn’t need training at all unless you want it to learn how to fetch a ball or stand up.
"Honey," my mom yelled to me one sunny afternoon, "Go out and feed Sugar." Sugar was our dog, a big, husky lap dog. I went to our kitchen, and got some food. 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. I went to the garage to check, but unfortunately Sugar wasn?t there. ?Mom,? I cried after a couple of seconds, ?Do you know where Sugar is??
Being a teenager my mother explained having a pet was a great responsibility somehow I was frustrated she didn’t understand my passion and love for dogs! Nothing in the world would convince her to let us get one. She claimed I can have a turtle if I desperately wanted to have a pet. I couldn’t agree.

Drug abuse has been a hot topic for our society due to how stimulants interfere with health, prosperity, and the lives of others in all nations. All drugs have the potential to be misapplied, whether obtained by prescription, over the counter, or illegally. Drug abuse is a despicable disease that affects many helpless people. Majority of those who are beset with this disease go untreated due to health insurance companies who neglect and discriminate this issue. As an outcome of missed opportunities of treatments, abusers become homeless, very ill, or even worst, death.
Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted a dog. Never did I think that dogs would end up being by biggest fear. I was just a little kid around 6 years old when it happened. I was walking home from my friend’s house when I saw a stray dog, it was in the middle of the street blocking my way, I decided to walk past it, while I was walking it started growling at me, I hesitated but still kept trying to walk then suddenly it got up and started barking empathically towards me. I was terrified, my first initial reaction being a 6 year old kid was to scare it away, I was ignorant. I picked up a rock and threw it at the dog thinking it’ll get scared and run away. I was wrong. The dog had enough it made a whimpering noise then started barking even louder
