When I was nine years old my grandparents adopted a two year puppy named, maximilian. We, of course, called him Max. When we went to the kennel to pick out a new dog Max didn 't seem like an option. He was a scrawny little puppy tucked in the corner of the shelter. Max was a boisterous springer spaniel mix, and when we first got him he was black and white. Overtime his white fur was masked by black spots, similar to age spots, which made him uniquely mine. Max was suppose to my grandfathers new hunting dog when he was newly adopted. However, at the very first gunshot Max bolted and my grandfather spent a three hours looking for Max in the woods. After the hunting incident my grandfather wrote Max off and, he became my dog. I took a lot of pride in having a dog. My other grandpa, my mother 's father, had died and my parents had just divorced, so Max became my bestfriend and my rock. I taught Max many tricks in his lifetime; one trick people particularly enjoyed was playing dead. Max also knew how to crawl, dance, shake, roll over, and sit. Max was a fast learner, so teaching him was a piece of cake. However, I had difficulty teaching him to play dead. I remember I …show more content…
My great grandparents, my great aunt and uncle, and another great uncle all attended. I work up early that morning to find my easter basket, because my grandma still thought I was a kid and made me a easter basket every year. After looking for my Easter Basket I looked for Max because I had not yet seen him that morning. I found him lying on his worn out dirty dog bed in my grandparents room. It was unusual for Max to be missing out on all the people; he loved being around everyone to steal food and get pet. Max looked tired so I let him sleep and went to join everyone for breakfast. It was a big thing in my family to have big breakfast on the weekends. Everyone got up and watched HGTV and we sang the making the bacon

Service dogs are a low risk treatment, that can replace dangerous medication and expensive devices. For a purebred service dog is $20,000, however there are non profit organizations that provide service dogs at a much lower cost, but there is usually a long wait list (“Costs”). ASDA (Autism Service Dogs of America) sets a donation goal of $13,500 for every approved family, which is always achieved. Another option is buying the dog from a breeder and paying for the training and accessories. If a puppy is purchased from a dog breeder for around $2,500, in two years time the dog would have costed around $5,200 dollars. The rest of the $ 2,700 comes from vet bills, service gear, training expenses, food, treats, and toys. (“Service”) Getting a dog from a rescue center will cost about the same amount because usually vet bills and training expenses are incrases. However in the long run the owner is most likely to spend more money on a rescue dog, because they often have more issues, physically and mentally which cause them to wear out faster. There is no health insurance that cover service animals. Service dogs however do replace the nasty side effects of some medication, and devices that won't provide companionship. Although the average hearing aid costs $4,000, hearing aides need replaced as the person grows, and need repairs as well, putting the total
What makes us who we are? To answer that question we must establish what we are. We are the most advanced generation of human being the world has ever seen. We as a people come up with new innovations and inventions every day that make life easier. It’s fairly easy to get caught up in what we are as a society and just think that who we are as well but, this isn 't the case. Who we are is also known as our personal identity and there are many aspects of this identity, so many in fact that focusing on only a few comprehensive aspects and going into depth on these aspects will provide a coherent view of what goes into making us who we are.
Have dogs always been cute and cuddly? Actually, they have not always been how they are today. All dogs used to be big bad wolves. Scientist has found that all dogs have descended from the grey wolf. They converted into dogs because the wolves came closer and closer to humans. It took a very long time for the wolves to alter to cute cuddly dogs. After the wolves had pups, the pups grew up around humans and grew closer and less ferocious to humans, so the pups were more comfortable with people and that we could hunt with them and use them as pets later. Therefore, the relationship between dogs and humans has changed tremendously over time.
are a kind of wolf. They were the first animals that people fed on purpose, earlier than sheep or cows or chickens. People have been taking care of dogs in Central Asia since about 13,000 BC, in the Stone Age, before the beginning of farming (and possibly much earlier; maybe as long as 100,000 years ago, before people left Africa). Most likely, dogs themselves began this relationship by hanging around people's campsites (there weren't any villages yet), trying to snatch some of their garbage to eat. At first, people must have tried to scare the dogs away. But after a while, some of them realized that the dogs ate rats, and also helped to clean up food garbage that drew flies and other insects. So campsites with dogs were cleaner and healthier than campsites without dogs. Fewer people got dysentery and died.
One of my best memories is when I adopted my dog Bingo. I adopted him from the Humane Society when he was very small. The Humane Society was helpful in the process, they helped me with all the instructions and paperwork. This experience of helping a little animal was great as the love I receive back from him is overwhelming. This feeling is something I would do again and would recommend anyone who is capable of doing it to try it. They become family and will teach you the feeling of trust. Bingo is one of my babies, he welcomes me every day with a big joy, he depends on me and the same way he gives me his love, I returned it back to him. He has a sister who he plays with and soon I will be looking forward to getting another sister for
A therapy dog is a dog that might be trained to provide affection and comfort people in hospitals,retirement homes,nursing homes,schools,hospices,disaster areas, and to people with autism. Therapy dogs are usually not assistance or service dogs. but can be one or both with some organizations. In the u.s. Therapy dogs are not service animals and are not afforded the same privileges as them. Institutions may invite. limit or prohibit access by therapy dogs. If allowed many institutions have rigorous requirements for therapy dogs. United States based Therapy Dogs International And the use of service dogs in their therapy dog program Service dogs perform tasks for persons with disabilities and have a legal right to accompany their owners in most
When I was 5 I got a puppy and his name is shadow Shadow is the best dog in the world. Shadow is a Cocker Spaniel mixed with Cavalier King charles I think Shadow is the cutest dog ever. On August 8th we got Shadow in Morehead Shadow was the only male dog he was also the smallest and the only black one the rest were females and they were brown. I named my dog Shadow Because he is black and tan. When it was night time Shadow would whine and cry all night because he was scared. When I got Shadow my family thought he was going to be smart,but Shadow runs away one time he ran away and jump on a lady who was scared of dogs i thought that was funny. When I take Shadow to a dog park all he does is walk around by himself and jump on people and on the
From the time I was a one year old to when I was 13 years old I had a bloodhound, her name was Terra. I use the saying, "we had" loosely because the truth is, she had us. Terra was always the smartest person in the room. I could write this whole paper about her but only using one source would land me a "D" I believe so I'll tell you a few stories about her. One day Terra got into trouble because she wanted to play with the neighbors dogs and devised a plan to tear a section of the fence apart that separated our two yards. After she successfully made it through the fence, she spent the afternoon playing with...
I invested in a rescue Rottweiler. Harley was the sweetest, loving dog that I have ever owned. He was really scary looking, but never growled at anyone other than my x husband. Rottweilers are dogs that mirror their owner’s emotions. The only time I felt that scared was when my X was around. It was amazing. Suddenly I slept through the night. Harley chased my X back to his car on one occasion. That was the last time that he came to my house. I only got my Harley for a little over a year. He was an old dog that lived kind of a rough life. He passed away from bone cancer. I now have a five year old Rottie named Soder (the name means Keeper from
When I was twenty-two years old, I answered an advertisement in the paper for free Labrador puppies. Driving up to the house, I saw all the little critters running around and having a ball of a time. I got into the pen with the pups, and finally decided on the shy runt who spent the majority of his time hiding under a board. I loved his personality and instantly knew he was the dog for me. I named him Charlie, and from that point on our master/dog relationship began.
Some people may say a dog is just a dog, but for me they are extremely desirable. Dogs are a person’s best friend. They make me cry, laugh, and I wish never adopted one because they do smell. Although, dogs smell, it should not be a justification to not obtain one. I mean what does not smell? I never realized how taking care of a dog could change my life; until I saw how they sleep throughout the day, they are always there to comfort me, and how they provide a responsible way of living.
“That dog is so futile! All he does is sniff, bark, and whine! I can’t tolerate with such a dog!” I sighed to myself as my beagle, Puddles, circumnavigated around me, twitching his tail. I pushed him away and perambulated off to my room. I am not friends with animals, and even though I live on an old farm with my grandfather and grandmother, animals are not one of my interests. Puddles, was an old dog but with much energy. He was constantly jumping up and down on people with his muddy, and feculent paws.
My first memory of touch comes from when I was roughly three years old. My family got our first dog, Max, after my siblings begged our parents for one. My first memory of touch was when I petted him for the very first time. The memory of petting my dog is very special to me because I care for dogs so much and I will always remember it because Max was my first dog. The purpose of this paper is to tell my reaction to this touch, why I remember this touch, what memories of my touch have meant to me and still mean to me, and how my memory of touch has affected me and me life since.
This is a story of Max, who went to sleep an ordinary boy and woke up with an unordinary ability. The ability to with his dog Comet.
