A Man’s Best Friend
“Dog are not our whole life, but they our live whole.” Last year around Christmas time, was a day that I will cherish forever. It was around sunset, when my father came from work and brought a little cage with him, I didn’t know at the time but it would change my life. Inside that cage was cutest thing I had ever seen. It was a puppy! He had little frown face and with his bright gold fur with the softest paws that I had ever felt. My dad told me “If you don’t take good care of him I will give him away.” He was the most adorable golden retriever ever.

To begin with I had to give him a name. The first thing that came up to my mind was Simba. Because he reminded me of the Lion King. I knew that Simba was going to be big responsibility. Simba was like a baby, I had to feed him, clean up after his mess, and clean after he goes to the bathroom. He was like my own child. For example I have schedule when to feed him. It started when I would wake up, I would take him to the bathroom. Next I would feed him at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Also I had to teach him respect. Another example is that one day I was walking my dog in the” park. Then Simba spotted a bird and got very excited and broke the leash and took off running. I screamed “SIMBA NO!” So I ran as fast I could to catch him. Then my dog stopped. I was shocked because he knew angry I was. After I caught up to him I calm myself down. And told him not to do that again. I wonder if he listen to me so I let him go without leash and he didn’t even move. Then he looked at me waiting for me to say something. I respond by saying “Good Boy!”

In conclusion, having a dog was turning point with my life. But it is about growing up and having responsibility. I can't imagine how hard it is to raise a child. The lesson I learned is that having dog can have a positive impact to our life. Also teach us about responsibility and caring for someone else. I feel that if I didn’t have a

    It all began when a was a little boy and all I wanted was a dog, for years I begged and begged, and still no dog. I felt as if I was incomplete without one, I had even written persuasive essays in school on why I should get a dog and waited and just hoped for it. Finally, when I was in 5th grade, I found a church ministry where we met once month and came up with ideas to raise money for the local rescue. During the meetings, we would also go for a walk, those who had animals would walk them. One time, somebody from the rescue came with one of the rescue dogs for the walk, which inspired me to go to the rescue and check it out.…

    I am the proud owner of a little brown dog named Bruno. I rescued him from the pound while I was in high school. The pound was unsure exactly what kind of dog Bruno was, but stated he is part Dachshund. I mentioned earlier, I rescued Bruno, but in reality he rescued me. My senior year of high school was not the greatest time for me, but owning Bruno got me through it. At the time, I just broke up with my high school “sweetheart” so to my immature young mind, I thought the world was coming to an end and I would never find someone else. Whether it was taking Bruno for walks, or trying to teach him new tricks he kept my mind occupied. I was given the responsibility to take care of him. I made sure he had all of his shots and there was fresh food and water for him. Until he was house broken, I was responsible to clean up after him. By being responsible for another being, it keeps a person centered not always thinking about themselves and their needs.…

    Candy demonstrates how the companionship of something familiar, something friendly, brings hope, and provides a way to make ones way through one’s life journey. At first, Candy has his dog, his unwaveringly faithful friend. Candy’s dog, despite being non-human, is a sentient being that Candy relies upon. Psychologically, when people cannot care for themselves to the degree they wish, the ability to protect and provide sustenance for a lesser creature or person provides a sense of accomplishment that they cannot attain in any other way. Candy cares for his dog and despite the fact that many see it as a worthless “object”, “‘Got no teeth, he's all stiff with rheumatism. He ain't no good to you, Candy. An' he ain't no good to himself. Why'n't you shoot him, Candy?’ (Steinbeck 22), Candy continues to…

    It was a relaxing day at home in the Helfman household. My mom was constantly jabbering on the phone, my dad’s eyes were glued to his computer working, and my brother was stuck to his bed and never got up. My brother, Danny had gotten into Syracuse University a few months earlier and he was ecstatic about the life he was going to make for himself. Danny and I got along well our whole lives, but we weren’t as close as some other siblings. This upset me because sometimes all I wanted to do was talk to my brother and get his advice. I have three dogs. My dogs Sadie, Tootsie, and Lucky are cuddly and soft toy poodles.…

    I believe that dogs teach you how to enjoy the little things in life. I always look for happiness in the wrong places, and never knew that happiness is in the simple, minor things that happen every day. I'm a girl; therefore I used to think happiness has to come from boys, clothes, by looking fabulously dressed in school, getting new makeup or being complimented by others. How wrong I was... I should've known that those things should be the last things on my mind because of how insignificant…

    My Life In Dog Years

    I really enjoyed reading My Life in Dog Years. I am also a dog lover so I could relate completely to Paulsen’s point of view. I wish I could be around dogs as much as he is in this story. The dogs just seem to come out of nowhere and are attracted to him. I think that this book is a good book for children to read that is realistic fiction because it was realistic but there weren’t really any controversial issues. I enjoy that this book is an autobiography about his relationship with dogs, not just stories about dogs. I think it is important that he showed how pets could affect your life directly. I think this book shows that pets are good companions and can change your life.…

    Every time you came home the house felt empty. No wet dog nose, no slobbery tongue, no barking. It didn't feel right to be home and not have to let the dog out, or wonder if she had been fed, or wonder if she was getting into things she shouldn’t be. I wished I would trip on one of her left-out toys just one more time. The emptiness was a terrible feeling and after only a few months, my family decided we were ready to look for another dog to fill the hole in our home.…
