Fur Babies Did you have a childhood pet? Well, I did; I had two and I loved them with all my heart. But last year in mid-May, I had to put them down. My dogs have been a big part of my life since I was four years old. They taught me a lot about being responsible, caring for someone else, and, most importantly, were so much fun and loveable. It’s hard for me to understand how people can’t see that animals and their owners have a real bond between each other. The two fur babies that were so precious in my life were both labs. Isabella was the first one that was introduced into my life. She was a yellow full-blooded lab. We got her for free from a family friend. She was one of the best dog anyone could have ever asked for. She was very

  • Dog Bingo Eulogy

    163 Words  | 1 Pages

    One of my best memories is when I adopted my dog Bingo. I adopted him from the Humane Society when he was very small. The Humane Society was helpful in the process, they helped me with all the instructions and paperwork. This experience of helping a little animal was great as the love I receive back from him is overwhelming. This feeling is something I would do again and would recommend anyone who is capable of doing it to try it. They become family and will teach you the feeling of trust. Bingo is one of my babies, he welcomes me every day with a big joy, he depends on me and the same way he gives me his love, I returned it back to him. He has a sister who he plays with and soon I will be looking forward to getting another sister for

  • Burkhard Bilger's The Last Meow

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever wondered how much it costs to have and maintain a pet? Burkhard Bilger, the author of “The Last Meow”, explains how Americans spend a lot of money on their pets and that people's “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control. An observation I have made is that in many movies dogs are treated very well. When I was younger, I watched a movie called Bratz and one character would always have her dog inside a dog purse and they would even get manicures and pedicures together. The dog always had shiny clothes on and it was always very clean. Therefore, I agree with Bilger's argument that Americans “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control.

  • Compare And Contrast Essay: Into The Wild

    It was one of those cold rainy nights that everyone hates. On top of the horrible weather my family and I were feeling another burden, we had just lost our beloved cat, Annabelle. While, my sister was silently weeping over Annabelle in her room, I was in mine thinking and asking myself questions. Does Annabelle just want to live her real life she may have been meaning to live, does anyone who owns a pet REALLY own their pet or is the pet living a life that it was not meant to live, do all pets have a “wild side?” As I was thinking about the answers to these questions I decided no we don’t really own our pets. Our house pets are animals that are more civilized

  • Increasing Animal Adoptions at Shelters

    It was a hard day for me. My dog of almost 7 years had to be put down, and it was the first pet I had ever lost. My dad wasn’t too keen on me getting a new puppy. We started looking at other dogs and my dad found one that he thought we should get. My parents decided to take me on a surprise trip to the animal shelter to get a better look at the dogs that we wanted to adopt. As we entered the dog room, barks started to echo around us and excited dogs jumped up on their kennels to make sure we saw them. As we got to Mack’s cage, I think his puppy face must have melted my dad’s heart because he agreed to adopt him and take him home. Today, years later, I still believe adopting Mack was one of the best decisions I could have made. Through adopting Mack, I was inspired to volunteer at the animal shelter as soon as I was old enough. One day I went up just to look at animals and I realized that there were many dogs that had been in the shelter for a long time. No one was interested in adopting them because they weren’t a popular breed, or they were not the right color. From that day forward, I decided that I was going to find a way for those dogs to be adopted, so they had the chance to be as happy as Mack is, in a home and out of a shelter. By finding a way to positively promote breeds prone to indifference, unwanted color, and through establishing positive behaviors and character, animal shelters will be able to increase canine adoption.

  • Human and Animal Relationship

    I am the only child in my family, so I often felt some kind of solitude. Finally, instead of a sibling, on my eleventh birthday I received a very special present from my lovely parents. It was a white cat with some black spots on its paws and near the neck. I proudly called him Tom as I was a huge fan of “Tom And Jerry” cartoons which attracted me to the TV every evening. I can’t find a word to describe that happy moments of my childhood spent playing with Tom. I built a small house for him from Lego pieces, forced him to stay in bed to watch cartoons together, and taught him how to play soccer along with some other tricks, and washing Tom in the bath was also a pleasure challenge for me. Now, I’m much older, but exciting love for cats didn’t disappear. Sometimes, walking down the streets in my town, when I saw poor homeless cats, I felt large regret to their hard lives. However, at the same time, I saw much more land animals were killed to become my food later, and my feelings weren’t alike. My love and compassion extended only on cats but not on a cow or a pig mostly because they never were so close to me as the cat was. Sadly, I am not the only representative of such problem when people care exclusively about the animals they love.

  • Dog Adoption Research Paper

    “To never know the love of a dog is to miss the best thing life has to give.” –Anonymous I find warmth and comfort in animals, particularly dogs. In July 2011, my family decided to adopt another dog into our family. Our other dog, Bella, was lonely and needed a companion. We discovered a place in Battle Creek that had puppies available for adoption. Throughout the drive there, I was not nervous or anxious as one may expect. I was thrilled and could not wait for what was to come. We never had a puppy in our family before, only dogs of nine months or older. I discerned it would be a challenge and it would take hard work to train him or her.

    As a kid, I fell in love with the idea of getting a puppy for Christmas. Wrapped in a small box with a bow on top sitting under the tree just like the movies and tv shows I had seen. I can remember making a Christmas list of all the things I wanted that year, and every year the same thing that I wanted had said “puppy” with it underlined so that my mother knew which was my favorite on the list. Every year no surprise, I didn’t find a dog. I never understood why I never received one. When the kids at school talked about the few dogs they had at home made me so jealous, but I hoped that one day it would be me to have my own best friend at home.
