Brock The Last Dog
“Analyze a theme”

In the story “The Last Dog” far in the future a teenager named Brock goes outside of a dome that most people stayed in because they said the outside was dangerous. Brock left the dome to go explore and while he was out he found a dog which was the last dog on earth. He took the dog back to the dome, but the scientists said they were going to do experiments on it. He pretended like the dog had rabies and brought it back outside to run free. I liked the story because he followed his instinct like a real world situation. People in the dome told brock to not go out and that it’s dangerous but his instinct told him to. He ended up finding the last dog on earth.

During the story, he decided to leave the dome in the first place before anyone told him because he knew something would be out there. Such as when he found the dog. After Brock found the dog he realized how much he liked it. He had a love for the dog like no one else in the dome did. When he heard that the scientists were going to do experiments on it he automatically knew that he couldn’t let it happen. His instinct knew all of those things and he followed it.

They were all born from test tubes and all of the rooms looked the same. If Brock hadn’t questioned what they were telling him or followed his instinct he would have still been like everyone else. Brock never would have experienced the love that he did for the dog. The dog’s name was Brog. He named it after him but didn’t want it to be exactly the same. Since it’s a dog and his names Brock he named it

    C.D. Watson tells an emotional story about a dog named Maxx and a woman named Monika. Watson states that, “The rescue agency that took Maxx found him to be a mess. His long, golden fur was matted and soiled with feces. It took 8 hours to clean him for foster care placement.” When Maxx was adopted by Monika, she had noticed that he had troubles walking, so she took him into the vet for an X-ray. After being crammed in a wire cage that was way to small for him, Maxx’s knees were turned to the wrong side after being dislocated. Maxx had also suffered from hip dysplasia and a severe ear infection in both ears. All of Maxx’s injuries were caused by the poor caretaking skills of the breeder.

    Communication Skills in dogs are incredibly more advance than even our close relatives the chimpanzee. There are many theories as to how these skills evolved in dogs to become the companions of humans. The hypotheses that dogs evolved through domestication to satisfy the need of human interaction through companionship is one that scientist often agree on. Domestication suggests that dogs evolved from wolves. The production of the dog is correlated with two factors, which are biological and cultural processes. The biological factor suggest that the parent wolf was secluded from its original population and a genetic drift occurred. This drift became successful over generations and genetically modified by natural selection. The cultural process suggests that when wolves became subdued through ownership of mankind that these animals became tamed. This led to alterations from a wild carnivore to an adapted domestic dog for human companionship.…

    The third factor that BSL ignores is the factor of history. What is the dog’s genealogy and history of ownership? Has it been abused or abandoned? Much like humans, dogs are able to keep these traumatic memories in order to build the personality they upon adoption in present day. According to the Journal of Animal Applied Animal Welfare Science that did a research study on behaviors with dogs who have been abused and those who lived in healthy conditions. It wasn’t a surprise when the dogs who were abused seemed to perform ‘bizarre’ and ‘repetitive’ activities. It isn’t rocket science to think when an animal has a history of being abused that it would keep a stronger stance and enact in a more aggressive manner. This aggressive manner is…

    Race, education, and incarceration: three factors that are all undeniably linked in America’s present day society. Race has been an issue for the entirety of American history. Institutionalized racism can be seen everywhere – health outcomes, wealth distribution, housing, education, incarceration rates, and so on. One in every three black men will be incarcerated in his lifetime and blacks are five times more likely to be incarcerated than whites – this is no coincidence. There are numerous different factors as to why this may be the case, such as subconscious racism by police force, being raised and socialized in areas with higher crime rates, policy changes targeting specific populations, etcetera.…
