The puppy was symbolic in a few ways for both of the main characters. For the first main character Marie, the puppy represented a few things. Marie craved a time when her family was closer, when Goochie their current dog was still a puppy. The new puppy was going to be a way for the kids to bond and bring everyone closer. “This time was would be different, she was sure of it” (Saunders 175; Mays 175). Marie was a good mother who had a difficult upbringing and only wanted the best for her children.…
The “Puppy Mill Pet Shop Life Cycle” shows how puppies enter the puppy mill cycle. This cycle usually begins with an owner wanting the puppy, becoming frustrated with the puppy’s health and vet bills, leading to the shelters becoming crowded with abandoned puppies, the mothers and pups are living in unsanitary cages. The puppies are then packed into crates and sold, these crates transport the puppies to their destination. After reaching the destination the puppies are put in pet shops to be resold, which restarts the puppy mill cycle.…
A typical puppy mill, to save money, is underemployed with a maximum of 3 to 5 employees taking care of the potential 1,000+ puppies. As a result, there is little to no human interaction, which leads the puppies to possibly having poor social habits and showing fearful behavior.6 The puppies are usually taken away from their mother and their littermates and sold off as early as just 4-6 weeks old.5 This is illegal, as the Animal Welfare Act states “No dog dealer… shall separate a puppy ... from its mother, for the purpose of sale, until such puppy … has attained the age of 8 weeks.”7 This statement is a law for a reason: according to the Humane Society of the United States, an animal rights not-for-profit organization, puppies should be with their littermates for 8-12 weeks and weaning from the mother should gradually be stopped by 8 weeks of age.8 This is because during those 8-12 weeks with his or her littermates, the puppy learns social skills such as how to send and receive signals, how physically far to go in play-wrestling, what an “inhibited bite” means, and in general learning how to be a dog when surrounded by his or her littermates.6 Also, it is important for the mother to be with the puppy for the 8 weeks as the mother models the affection and warmth which the puppy senses, and the puppy can pick up this cue and display this affection on his or her own.6 Therefore, it is important for the…

Once, there was a dog called Fluffy. Fluffy is a really cute and smart dog and has a rich owner, who is very arrogant, called Cholè. One day, Cholè moved house and got a new dog much more clever than Fluffy by her noble friend as a moving present, and named him Luke. She looked after Luke more and loved him more than Fluffy, and forgot Fluffy’s existence. Fluffy became lonely and was soon abandoned by her arrogant owner, Chloè. Fluffy became a stray dog and was really hungry walking on the street with no food and water. She waited every day night until the most rejoice moment of everyday is to eat the kitchen waste of the apartment or restaurant, when the staff went to the landfill to dump the kitchen…
Not too far from a house, a barn sits off in the distance. Inside the barn, it is crowded with cages. Row after row, stacked on top of each other, are cages with dogs inside of them. Dogs crying for attention or crying out in pain. Inside that barn, there are tens of hundreds of dogs being bred and born consecutively. This is what a puppy mill looks like. Puppy mills are large-scale commercial dog breeding operations where profit is placed above the well-being of animals. To help put this cruel treatment of animals to an end, we need to look at the causes and effects of puppy mills, and what you can do as an individual.…

To begin with, a puppy mill is a business that breeds and sells puppies in order to make a large profit. Often times, female dogs are bred constantly and at every possible moment without any time to heal or rest. Eventually, when the female dog can no longer reproduce, they are commonly killed to make more room for others. Meanwhile, the hundreds of dogs that are born within a puppy mill are suffering just as much. They only receive a short amount of time…
Embarrassed, unsure, minimal food, without a clue. These are all things that play a part in both rites of passage. The medicine bag rite of passage is about a boy named Martin that las a Lakota grandpa that's time is coming to an end yet he still needs to pass down the tradition. The Apache girl rite of passage is about a girl that has to go through an intense process to get to her success of being a woman 0f her tribe. My scrutiny of these two stories confess that there are many similarities and differences between the two in addition, there were also some disadvantages and advantages of having the story in a text or video format.…

Finally, the main difference in raising a puppy and an older dog is the older dog can be left on her own without being destructive whereas the puppy if left to her own devices goes crazy and into destruction mode. I know that it is the puppy’s curiosity that makes her that way, and her playfulness but it’s much easier to leave the older dog home alone than it is the puppy. To leave the puppy, I have to get the crate ready and put her in it and then hope when I come home that she isn’t covered in her own excrement.…
Once upon a time the poorest fed dog in America was the farm dog left to fend for itself for food. These dogs, undernourished bags of bones, were once so common they almost became symbolic of impoverished rural America. Today vast numbers of those small farms have vanished. With them have gone the gaunt, hollow-eyed hounds that greeted every farm visitor with a hungry, ill-tempered bark.…
When I was in first grade, my mother finally relented and bought my sister a dog, a tiny, black Cockapoo puppy she named “Pepper”. Allison had wanted one for a long time and her pleas were duly noted after she tried to bring our cousin’s dog back to Maryland with us. The tantrum on the way home when her plans failed was the tipping point. A year passes and my mother loves Pepper so much so she wants another dog. There was an unspoken agreement that this second dog would be mine. A day's trip back to the breeder in Virginia and we learned there weren’t many Cockapoo puppies left to choose from. My parents idea to get a white one and name it “Salt” were, understandably, put on hold. Nevertheless, I examined the few puppies left and choose one…
