Drug dogs are classified into three categories – those that are aggressive, those that are compulsive, and those that are very laid back. These dogs go through very extensive training before performing their tasks. Training takes anywhere from three to twelve weeks. Dogs come out of this training with different types of personalities.
The first of this category would be the aggressive dog. This dog is the one that tends to be forceful and damaging. The aggressive dog will tear things apart when searching for drugs. This dog takes his or her job serious. You can compare these animals to human beings when it comes to work. Some human beings take their work serious as well. Most of the time an aggressive dog will make your job harder.

This dog compares closely to the aggressive dog. The compulsive dog will tend to be a dog that is ready to go at all times. This dog will have to be held back even when it is not needed to perform. Compulsive dogs are dogs that are born to retrieve and do not have to be taught. These dogs will fetch the first time you throw a ball or an item. These dogs train quicker than the aggressive dog and usually perform their job well. Compulsive drug dogs are easier to get along with, in that they are friendlier than an aggressive dog. Compulsive dogs make great pets after they are no longer used for drug searches. Many times the compulsive dog will lead you to believe there is drugs hidden in an area where there is none. This tends to create suspense to a search. It keeps you on your toes as to the level of threat to your self, especially when the person responsible for the search is in the same room with you. Most compulsive dogs are friendly, but will protect their master at any level. The compulsive dog is usually protective due to the relationship between the dog and the dog handler. The aggressive dog usually takes no consideration of this relationship at all. It just attacks no matter what the case. The aggressive dog is usually protecting itself, whereas the compulsive dog is protecting his

Pit bulls, the most dangerous dog to ever live. People like to train Pit Bulls to fight other dogs until they are either hurt or dead. The owners that train the dogs are usually the ones that make the dog turn out to be vicious and dangerous. “Each year, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, approximately 40% of whom are Pit Bulls”(Moore). Pit Bulls don’t know better to understand which is right from wrong since they’re being raised up to fight and protect. Pit Bulls aren’t good family dogs due to the power of their strength and that they could attack at any moment.
If a dog is suffering from medical problems its behavior could change (“Medical Conditions”). If a dog is feeling pain or discomfort in may react with aggressive actions. Such as a dog that is pregnant will act in an aggressive way to protect its young. There are also many diseases that a dog can catch and become violent from. Some diseases include: hypothyroidism, brain tumors, and epilepsy (“Medical Causes”). Dogs that suffer from problems with the brain will most definitely respond aggressively.

Kincaid manipulates Lucy’s character to work for a lovely almost perfect couple. Lewis and Mariah are introduced as the perfect two to begin with, only to later emphasize the betrayal that takes place between them. Confronted with the infidelity taking place in yet another household she was part of Lucy describes, “I saw Lewis standing behind Dinah, his arms, around her shoulders, and he was licking her neck over and over again, and how she liked it” (Kinkaid 79). The description of Lewis licking and holding Dinah includes distinctive visual imagery that helps the reader imagine Lewis tongue running through Dinah’s deceiving neck over and over again. By adding visual imagery Kincaid makes the infidelity happening more realistic and allows the reader to bring Dinah to life and see her as she backstabs a friend who only saw how lovely and sweet she was. Additionally, Lucy mentions, “Hours before I had walked into a room and heard Mariah say to Lewis, “What’s wrong with us” (Kincaid 78)? The quotation is an example Mariah’s character reaching out to Lewis in hope that something can be done to save their marriage if only they find the problem. Kincaid demonstrates to the audience how the consequences of Lewis’ disloyalty affect her and
Labs are known all over the world to be great with families. Labrador Retrievers are loyal, loving dogs. They are one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs in the world, which makes them willing to learn, and easy to please. Labs are also rather easy to train, whether it is potty training, or training to be a service dog. These dogs also have great temperaments and are very friendly, great around young kids and behave well with other dogs.

Today in America a lot of young people experiment with illegal drugs. Some people try drugs for recreational purposes, others are addicted to drugs and can't survive without them. Usually it all starts from recreational purposes, and people who can not control their recreation become a drug addicts. There are many different types of drugs, but all drugs are similar in that they change one's understanding of the environment, feelings, senses and mood. Some drugs cause physical addiction, which means that after several tries of the particular drug, the body requires that chemical in order to function. Some drugs destroy lives; people use drugs so much that it changes their personality and acceptance of environment, people become happy and sad, active and weak under influence of drugs.

In a nation brimming with discrimination, violence and fear, a multitudinous number of hearts will become malevolent and unemotional. However, people will rebel. In the eye-opening novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns written by Khaled Hosseini, the country of Afghanistan is exposed to possess cruel, treacherous and sexist law and people. The women are classified as something lower than human, and men have the jurisdiction over the women. At the same time, the most horrible treatment can bring out some of the best traits in victims, such as consideration, boldness, and protectiveness. Although, living in an inconsiderate world, women can still carry aspiration and benevolence. Mariam and Laila (the main characters of A Thousand Splendid Suns) are able to retain their consideration, boldness and protectiveness, as sufferers in their atrocious world.
There are many different types of work dogs. Some types of work dogs also have different jobs for which they are trained for. Law enforcement dogs, for instance, are normally detector dogs. Detector dogs have a large interest in fetching and retrieving. There are two major types of detector dogs. These types are narcotic detectors and explosive detectors. Narcotic detectors are used to search for drugs and narcotics. Explosive detector dogs are used to detect TNT and other like explosives. There are three main dog breeds used as law enforcement dogs. The German shepherd is the best breed for law enforcement. They are easily taught to attack with full control and know how to restrain someone without hurting them. They are very agile and strong. They have heart and are very brave dogs. Another breed used is the Labrador retriever. They are used as detector dogs, both narcotic and explosive. They naturally have the urge to retrieve things. Golden Retrievers are also great dogs for detecting, again, both narcotics and explosives.
