My Pet Dog

My buddy, pet, and wildest friend, is the muse to my descriptive essay. My bulldog, Bibson, has been with my family for 3 years now and is striking in many ways that are amazing and interesting.
To properly visualize this animal, someone must first know that he is a full bred male American Bulldog and, true to the breed, is almost completely snow white. The exceptions to this are the backs of his ears, (they have light brown spots on them) his belly, (which is pink with brown spots) his nose, (big and black) and his left eye, (encircled in black with a brown eyebrow) which goes a long way to making him look like he has recently been in a fist fight. His body is long and slim and if I had his muscle definition, I would never lack for female companionship. No description of this dog could be complete without mention of the size of his head, which is, in a word, HUGE. This canine’s cranium is colossal and cartoonish by common criteria (is that enough C’s for ya?) and has, on a few occasions, made Mardi Gras floats jealous. With a big head, comes a big mouth, and with that, big teeth. Mentioning his insane incisors might give you the impression that he is mean, aggressive, or dangerous, all of which is patently untrue. The only things he uses such big teeth for are eating, nibbling for fleas (which he doesn’t confine to himself, just ask anyone, dog or human, who’s been in my house), and shredding paper, which he does with verve and gusto (it’s an absolute riot to watch).

Bibson’s fur is about twice the length of normal velvet and is soft and silky when clean, which is a very rare thing, as he loves the sand pit outside the house. His shoulders and hips are well muscled and feel somewhat like warm stone. His tail, ever in motion, is just as strong. Feeling a little like a furry steel cable, it wags with enough force to knock drinking glasses off tables and does sting a little when he hits me with it at full force.

This dog, though somewhat subdued

    Many people label the Pitbull, as dangerous, wild, and mindless creatures. Diamond was not anything near to those descriptions she was beautiful, smart, and a man’s best friend. Diamond is a family Pitbull that has been around for some years. She has gray fur that feels like one was floating through a field of cotton, but smell as if she was living in a swamp. Her blue eyes reminded people of the ocean. She had teeth that were white, sharp and strong like a bull’s horn. Her body had a strong physique, many might have thought she lifted weights in her spare time. The way she reacted to people commands, it was clear she understood them easily.…

    On page 83, there is a black and white picture of a pitbull, which is standing on what looks like mountain. This dog is standing on all fours and is standing with very tall posture. It has glasses, which are round and rustic looking, a leather collar, with spikes on it, and a pipe. This dog’s name is Addison, and he can talk. In the book, he is an a sophisticated dog, who gets scared easily . I asked a few people what they thought this dog’s personality was, and Nick said right away that it looked like an alcoholic, because of its pipe and breed. Tony said Addison looked very stuck up, which is also pretty true. FIND DIALOGUE ABOUT…

    Henry Huggin’s dog Ribsy is having a rough week. It begins with a nasty little flea nipping away at him underneath his collar and no matter what he does, he can’t seem to get at it. To make matters worse, Henry and his parents just got a new car and they won't let him inside it; they don't want his muddy paw prints on the seats or his nose smudges on the windows. So when Henry and his parents drive off to the shopping center, Ribsy chases after them until they are forced to stop and let him in. And Henry finally removes his collar so he can scratch away the flea. Ribsy didn’t mean to get lost in the huge shopping mall parking lot. After a comical mix-up one rainy afternoon, Ribsy finds himself in the wrong station wagon and with the wrong family.…

    The American Staffordshire Terrier (also known as Pit Bull) is believed to be a man-eating beast. But is this breed all it's made out to be? The Pit Bull started in the Unites States; it has been developed since the early 1800's as a result of crosses between the bulldogs of that time and game terriers. Although the early ancestors of this breed came from England, the development of the American Staffordshire Terrier is the story of a truly American breed. This type of dog was instrumental in the success of farmers and settlers who developed this country. They were used for general farm work, hunting wild pigs, bears, and other large game, guarding the homestead, and general companionship. A number of the early ancestors were also developed for…

Toward the end of the story the author and the dog are both changed. They are forever bonded at the end of their expedition.…

    That sly smile, those determined eyes... the mere quality and characteristics of the American pit bull terriers have evoked more human emotional, rational, and irrational response than any other breed that exists today. But, what needs to be emphasized is that their natural aggressive tendencies are merely toward other dogs and animals, not people. However if they are properly socialized they will not even be aggressive with them. These are truly quality companions for quality owners only. The American pit bull terrier is a good-natured, amusing, extremely loyal and affectionate family pet, which is good with children and adults. Almost always obedient, it is always eager to please its master. It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. Highly protective of his owners and the owner's property, it will fight an enemy to the death. In…

    Sharp, fast gasps and a swift pointing finger always proceeds when I spot a dog. An excitable, breathy, “Dog!” escapes my mouth and I always scurry over to the dog’s owner and asks if I can pet them. I’ve owned two dogs in my lifetime, and lived with another. I’m what some people would call a dog person. So for some, it might be unsurprising to find out that I credit a lot of how I am to dogs.…

    It was an unusually hot April at the end of my seventh grade lacrosse career. I didn’t know it at the start of the game, but by the second quarter all of my hard work and hours of practice would pay off when I scored my first goal. I was wearing my freshly cleaned #3 blue and gold Brentwood Bruins jersey and had rubbed the black paint on my cheeks. I love how dirty the jersey gets by the end of the game, covered in mud and grass stains; it’s almost like the dirt on your shirt shows how hard you worked.…

    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.…

    Wolf hybrids can range from 1% to 99% wolf in them. The lower the wolf content, the more dog like it will look and act. This will also depend on the number of generations away from pure wolf. Wolves are not domesticated, they can’t be completely tamed either, socialisation and training of wolf crosses is of the utmost importance. Wolf dogs, especially those with higher percentages of wolf, do tend to be destructive, especially if confined to the house stemming from their natural tendency to dig, and are fantastic escape artists.…
