The common emotion that the poodle and the Scotch terrier cause the narrator to feel is embarrassment. The narrator even says that Jeannie, the Scotch terrier, gave him his "moment of keenest embarrassment" when she delivered a seventh puppy on a street corner (page 1, paragraph 1). The mechanic's look of "incredulity mixed with hatred" (page 1, paragraph 1) gives Thurber the epiphany that he has been riding around holding a tiny green umbrella over a ridiculous looking poodle all through the streets of New York City. Both incidents happen in public and many people witness each event; therefore, both dogs managed to publically bring their master some very embarrassing…
Here’s a little history on the American Pit Bull Terrior, dating back to late seventeen hundreds, the Pit Bull Terriors were used for bull baiting, hunting, and as family companions. When used as baiting dogs they were trained to latch on to the heads of bulls, bears, and other large animals. This was banned in the early eighteen hundreds and ever since then the notorious dog fighting had begun. Now, dog fighting has been banned and is a felony offense in all fifty states. Many dog breeds have been used for hunting and fighting, and are still used as family dogs today. For example, retrievers, pointers, spaniels, bulldogs and many more. These breeds were created…
A large Mastiff guard-dog named Keeper stalked Emily Brontë everywhere she went, acting like her second shadow. The affectionate duo had grown up together, and after her death, he howled in agony for numerous days, lamenting her departure. The importance canines had in her life parallels the significance of canines in her book. Throughout the novel Wuthering Heights, dogs function as symbols that reveal a character’s future.…
For the purpose of this assignment, I have chosen to analyze an online article on the official statement of the ASPCA on pit bulls and pit bull type breeds. The ASPCA is widely recognized as the first humane society formed in North America and today, one of the largest humane societies in the world (Zawistowski). As an experienced animal welfare group with a 150 year history, I felt this group would be able to provide unbiased and accurate information regarding pit bulls. By using a mostly Rogerian argument, the author sets the groundwork for an informative essay on the pit bull breed by providing the breeding history on pit bulls, the theories of nature vs nurture in regards to…

Pit bulls tend to have a publically bad reputation, they have been misjudge because of what people have seen on TV, in movies and on the Internet. I feel that pit bulls do not get the credit they deserve. The only time a pit is recognize is when it attacks and causes damage to a human or another animal. The aggression trait has been bred into this dog, by inbreeding and breeding for those particular traits. It is also a manner of how the animal is treated and raised, which boils down to the person who has possession of the animal…
One of the best moments in my life is when I was going to get my dog. It started off with my mom saying “I was looking at dogs for sale and I saw this Labradoodle, and I was wondering if you guys wanted to go and see if you wanted to get him.” Of course we responded yes because we had been looking for a dog for about 3 months. The reason why we have been looking for this type of dog is because Labradoodles are known for being hypoallergenic,(Vetstreet) and my brother, mom and I are all allergic to dogs. My dad wasn't so sure if it was a good idea to get a dog because we didn’t have a cage, bowl, or anything for him. We got in the car and drove about 3 hours.…
