friend? For many dog owners the answer would be loyalty. In a story from the Christian Science Monitor author William H. Carlile wrote, “There is a hero on West Eunice Street just outside the suburb of Tucson: a two-year-old female English Springer Spaniel named Brandy. She is credited by law-enforcement officials with attacking and chasing off an intruder last year at the home of her owners, Jerry and Kendal Plank, despite having been shot five times by a 9mm semiautomatic machine gun.”(11) This story
To start things off, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels had a lot of speculation about their actual origins. Many people think the Cavaliers are descendants of the Spaniel Gentle dogs, which were called that because women often used them as comforters on long trips since they are so gentle. The Cavaliers are toy spaniels, meaning their nose is shorter than the average dog. The cousins of the Cavalier include the Springer and the Cocker Spaniel. Many royals love this type of dog, and during the Victorian
Chihuahuas and Their Adaptations Chihuahuas are the smallest breed of dog in the world, with the average adult weighing anywhere from two to six pounds. No one is completely sure where the breed of Chihuahuas originated, but an ancestor of this tiny dog might have been the Techichi breed. The Techichi is a small, mute dog, and its origins date as far back as 8 A.D. These dogs lived with the Mayans and the Toltecs. The Techichis had long hair and were bigger than the average modern day Chihuahua.
BAM! Dogs, now a man's best friend. The most common pet, thanks to wolves. Now let's go way back in time before dogs existed. Now, wolves gradually evolved into dogs. A wolf and a dog are the same species. They also have the same DNA. Hunting dogs are more related to wolves. Some people long ago tried to breed dogs by changing their features. For example, a doberman pinscher got most of its tail cut off. Now they have such small tails! A corgi has a natural tail. A great dane has surgically
With no coincidence, the animated version of this story debuted just two years later in 1955. The film follows a spoiled-rotten cocker spaniel, Lady, who is owned by an upper-class family. From the beginning, she was the center of her family’s attention, but not soon after she is replaced when they have a baby. She then meets a neighboring mutt, Tramp, who is from a much lower-class
now, English Springer Spaniels have helped humans in many ways, along with being a great companion. From hunting to royalty.From show and spring. Springers have always been loyal and beautiful,but don't forget a great hunter too. The English Springer Spaniel was brought to England from Spain around 1570. Then they were called Norfolk Spaniels.

dog Precious is my most treasured and loyal friend. On December 24, 1993 I opened my mom’s purse to get some Tylenol and out popped a little puppy. Its fur was soft and blonde, she had freckles on her nose, and she had droopy eyes. It was a Cocker Spaniel. She was so adorable that my family and I decided to name her “Precious.” She was the greatest present anyone could have asked for. Precious, unlike most dogs, has lived an incredible life. She has been dog knapped three different times and
Taoism presents a moral philosophy that at first seems very different from most western moral philosophies which, though very different, usually understand morality as a set of restraints on behavior or a common set of principles (common virtues). Western moral philosophy, in general, emphasizes constraining behavior that stems from desire. Taosim's emphasis is dealing directly with controlling ones desire by eliminating them. Taoism and western moral philosophy deal with desire but Taoism deals
small little ball of the blackest and fluffiest fur. The truth is, I don’t remember Roxy at all when she was a puppy. She was born on January 27, 2007. According to my sister, who is Roxy’s owner, Roxy was the smallest puppy of that litter of cocker spaniels. Picture this: a happy little ball of completely black fur with the only other color being her bright pink tongue. To this day, Roxy is still a happy, (slightly bigger) ball of black fur with a bright pink tongue and some white hairs on the
And do you remember the story that I started with about the little girl and Mom purchasing that cute little brown Cocker Spaniel? Well the Mom soon realized that the little puppy was too much to handle. So the Mom took the puppy to local animal shelter and gave up her rights. The puppy was sad, but was excited of the opportunity of a forever home. Unfortunately, days, weeks
It is actually a good thing to get animals from shelters because other wise they will probably die soon. When I lived in Texas, my family got our dog from a sale where they were selling abandoned dogs that they rescued. We got a black pekingese cocker spaniel mix, named Luna. Since we rescued her, we have had her for nine years. Rescuing a dog can do a lot for the shelter and your family, so I deeply recommend rescuing a dog. Sadly three million, dogs are killed at animal shelters every year. Breeding
Thesis Statement Many people love dogs. They keep us company, help us with our careers and help the disabled with their daily. Although it is debatable of what kind of rights animals have. Ethics Experts have debated about animal rights for years. Some experts say that animals have limited moral rights while others say that they do not have any rights at all. I will argue ethically that dogs are not only moral patients, but breeding them as Purebreds for recreational use, like dog shows is always
In Jonathan Safran Foer’s “Let Them Eat Dog”, he discusses a controversial, yet debatable topic. The topic concerns the eating of dogs, and whether or not it is moral and right. This is an issue that has two sides to consider; it is either completely right or completely wrong, there is no in-between. The argument to eat dog is presented with the use of ethos, pathos, and logos. Foer has a number of important arguments why eating dogs is moral and unmoral, in the end he leaves it to the judgment of

He made a joke out of it and let the people truly know he was a self-made man. The "Checkers Speech" saved Nixon's career
entertains her by reading her favorite book but he also made the trip to Amsterdam possible! What more could a girl ask for? This may be the only downfall in the film. In his “manic wish-fulfillment adorableness, he’s eager to please as a litter of cocker-spaniel puppies. It’s as grating as it is hard to buy” (Nashawaty, Chris). Lastly, while Scott sees Hazel Grace as the main character in the film, Nashawaty sees it otherwise, believing Augustus Waters to be the main character. “The main character-whose
