Being a dawg is a certain type of person. That person needs to have such a caring and loving heart. Putting the person in need first is the key idea of being a dawg. Especially for the boys, brothers, and teammates, they should be a first priority. A dawg should go far as the nitty gritty for one of them. Doing the nitty gritty means even through the worst circumstance possible, giving that person all the care they need to get through is truly a dawg. He or she will always be there whenever and wherever. You would consider a dawg a part of the family. Even though a dawg can be a non-family related person, they should act pretty close to it. For example, in the movie Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear travels across town and also goes through a vent just to try and save Woody. In this movie, it shows that Buzz would do anything for his dawg, Woody. All the obstacles and the life threatening journey he went through to save him is shows how much Woody means to him.

One example is a past experience from a basketball coach. The one quote he would always scream was, “Where my dawgs at?”. The reason he would use the word dawgs, is to get more energised and to play with more heart. It would get the team more aggressive and make us want to play harder. In addition, he would say we are dawgs because we would play for each other. We would play for each other because the team wasn’t just a team, it was a family. We looked at each other as actual blood-related brothers. With this team, when being a dawg, it comes with a brotherhood. We were always close. No matter what, we would be there for each other. On and off the court, everyone helps everyone out whether it’s at basketball, in school or even on social media. Another example is in the tv show, Friends. In one episode the three best friends Joey, Chandler and Ross went patrolling with an officer. Some person took the gun and shot it at all of the men. As that proceeded to happen, Joey jumped on top of Ross to make sure he was safe and the bullet didn’t hit him.That is a perfect example of a dawg. Joey made sure his best friend would not get hurt. He put himself in danger to help his dawg out. Dawgs aren’t just people you see everyday, they are the people that continue to do anything for you at anytime and any
For example, Johnny is physically the smallest of the group and Dally is always the one there to look out for him and help him with everything that is going on. Dally never has these parent/guardian like feelings for anyone else in the group, he clearly likes and cares for Johnny the most. Even Ponyboy realizes it when he says, “Dally is tougher than I am. Why can I take it and Dally can’t? And then I knew. Johnny was the only thing Dally loved. And now Johnny was gone”(152). Pony makes it crystal clear that Dallas cares for each other unconditionally. Similarly, Johnny has great affection and care for Dally. He realizes he can always look up to Dallas for anything and Dallas always has his back whenever Johnny is in need of some help or advice. When Ponyboy says, “Johnny worshiped the ground Dallas walked on, and I have never heard Johnny talk back to anyone, much less his hero ”(25). Like Dallas, Johnny looks up to Dally as his hero and care so greatly about him. Very much alike with each other, Dally and Johnny Both care for each other unconditionally. Therefore, Dally and Johnny are genuinely similar in many
A dog is just that, a dog, until someone comes along and makes it into a monster. A dog may be bred to do something, and can be trained to do an entirely different thing. For example, pit bulls have been bred to be nanny dogs. They are supposed to protect babies and ultimately care for them like they would their own pups. Some people have taken this instinct and turned it into something horrid.
Are these dogs misunderstood? In reality a dog is a reflection of its human, they see you as a pack leader they are who you raise them to be no matter the breed. If you neglect your puppy by chaining them up outside their whole life or keep them in
First Friend: A History of Dogs and Humans, by Katherine Rogers, articulates the history of the relationship between dogs and humans. Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals, by Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce, investigates if and how dogs exhibit morality. In both texts, anecdotes and observations are used to portray instances of dogs displaying cooperation, empathy, altruism, and, by extension, morality. Consequently, it stands to reason that dogs have a capacity for sociality, but how can the sociality of dogs be described? A dog’s capacity for sociality is the ability to form long term relationships with members of the same or other species. Dogs, in particular, dogs who hunt as well as dogs who play, are able to form long term relationships with humans and other dogs through trust, love,
“You take up for your buddies, no matter what they do. When you're a gang, you stick up for the members. If you don't stick up for them, stick together, make like brothers, it isn't a gang anymore. It's a pack. A snarling, distrustful, bickering park like the Socs in their social clubs or the street gangs in New York or the wolves in the timber.”- Ponyboy (chapter 2 page 26) The quote previously mentioned is from a novel called The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, which tells the story of conflict between the "greasers" and the "Socs." The Outsiders describes a young 14-year-old boy, Ponyboy Curtis, who grows up in the poor side of town with his two older brothers Darry and Sodapop Curtis. Ponyboy is a part hood group called “greasers” and for as long as he can remember the greasers have been at odds with the Socs, a group of kids from wealthy families. When greasers Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny
It can be a companion, an aide, or both. Pet dogs are loyal and make wonderful company, and an emotional support dog creates bountiful joy, but a service dog is much more. A service dog not only serves the same role as a pet, but creates a safer environment for its owner. Without the service dog it would be much harder for the owner to get around on a daily basis indecently. However service dogs and their owners are discriminated against because people are skeptical of the dog’s legitimacy, but instead the service dogs and their owners should be respected and treated as
I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth and somehow we humans think we’re smarter.

The ways in which we as humans represent our relationships with dogs are explored in Dog Love. Garber assumes on the role of a cultural critic through her book, commenting on the role and social value dog representations have in our society, as represented in various artifacts: novels, films, advertisements, etc. She believes that through dog stories we create the ideal human, assigning valued human characteristics to the canine protagonist. She states, “The dog becomes the repository of those model human properties that we have cynically ceased to find among humans” (Garber 15). In our society, we no longer turn to our fellow men and women for the embodiment of virtue; we instead look to “man’s best friend.”

As princesses of the canine universe, Annie type dogs have a loving yet manipulative personality. An Annie dog assumes the role of queen bee. As leader of the pack, she keeps everybody in line. She dominates all of the other dogs, often by physical herding or malicious growl. Tough the tough façade she has created does not accurately represent her entire personality. There is a bit of a diva atop Annie dogs’ fur, especially when anger causes the hairs of her back to stand on end. But, she is not all diva. To other members of the canine breed, Annie types seem rough and tough, but whenever a familiar human is thrown into the dynamic, Annie dogs know how to suck up.

They always come when called, even if it means leaving the hot trail of a chipmunk or bunny rabbit. Annie dogs fulfill the loyal and protective branches of man’s best friend’s quality list.

When I was nine years old my grandparents adopted a two year puppy named, maximilian. We, of course, called him Max. When we went to the kennel to pick out a new dog Max didn 't seem like an option. He was a scrawny little puppy tucked in the corner of the shelter. Max was a boisterous springer spaniel mix, and when we first got him he was black and white. Overtime his white fur was masked by black spots, similar to age spots, which made him uniquely mine. Max was suppose to my grandfathers new hunting dog when he was newly adopted. However, at the very first gunshot Max bolted and my grandfather spent a three hours looking for Max in the woods. After the hunting incident my grandfather wrote Max off and, he became my dog.
