The History and Science of Dogs
analytical Essay
1265 words
The domestic dog has to be one of the most unique animals that the human had ever bred. All dogs were formed differently and for separate reasons; whether it be for their looks or for their personal attributes, the dog has been evolved around humans and yet many breeds were created by humans themselves. I also believe that having a dog is a necessity to having a balanced life, just how Cesar Millan was quoted on the Brainy Quote web page “The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you”. Your dog runs off of your actions and emotions while you're around them. Also once you're able to control yourself and or your life and still be a successful leader to your dog you can have a successful relationship with this extraordinary animal. Personally, I believe this animal can help you, yourself see the world in an entirely different view from how you previously viewed it, before you ever tried to communicate or have a relationship with this animal and Cesar Millan fairly known as the Dog Whisperer around the world also quoted on Brainy Qutotes“A dog is a vehicle, you know; a dog is a window to Mother Nature, and that's the closest species we have.” Just like Jackie Mow says on The Science of Dogs “Dogs were made for men by men”. “There are over 400 breeds of dogs to this day and counting.” Every animal is practically the same but not the dog, “Dogs have the highest amount of variations in size and behavior than any other living and non living species that had ever lived on the planet.” “Dogs also have the most enhanced sense of sm... ... middle of paper ... ...But it just seems that no matter the breed of dog, the dog will always love you”(Alderton). It seems that no matter the size or behavioral attributes any dog contains they all seem to unconditionally love their human owners. And if you have ever owned a dog you know that the bond between a human and dog are unbreakable. Works Cited Page, Jake. Dogs. New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc., 2007. Print. Alderton, Davis.

In Don Kapp’s “It’s More About Owner Than Dog,” owners overlook their incapacity to meet the desires of the certain breed. When a person acquires an animal, its essential to acknowledge all “responsibility.” And by this, owners must study about the precise breed, it’s personality type and be able train and “socialize” them. Some owners however, discount the need to adjust early signs of disobedient behavior during the peak “first five months,” where suitable behavior of a dog can be conditioned. Owners tend to treat all dogs alike, yet not all dogs are created equal. All dogs have an intensity of aggression; nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the owner to warrant that they attain solutions to contain that aggression. Trevino and Shuit’s “Mauling Death of Boy by Dog Spurs Warning,” exemplifies the need of owners to inhibit aggression within a dog before it directs to maulings. “Payaso,” a male pit bull conceivably “lulls” owners with affection leading them to believe the animal is normal.
