Animals and Humans
Animals and Humans It may be that some humans are negligent, but humans are regarded as “beastly,” whereas animals are being considered “better.” Many ideas can lead up to these assumptions; many of these ideas can be disputed. Loyalty can be a huge leading cause to these assumptions. Animals (domestic) are almost always loyal and most humans can’t seem to be loyal if their life depended on it. Animals are not always better and humans aren’t always beastly, but that is how most people will see it. Animals are better than humans in some cases; mostly loyalty. When one wins an animal’s loyalty, that animal is loyal always. Loyalty given is a precious commodity. One thing I do know is that a dog will teach a human what real loyalty is all about. There have been many stories about dogs waiting around for years after their master is deceased. The sound of a car pulling up in the driveway will send the dog’s ears perking up and their tails wagging; at least for a while. The dog will still always be awaiting their master, but when the dog realizes that their master is never coming home the animal will act differently; the dog acts depressed. The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. Loyalty is a very broad term which may be applicable in case of one 's family, locality or the country. A loyal person is ready to sacrifice even his own life for the sake of his master, friend, relative or the country. A loyal person bears a moral character, honest outlook, and disciplined manners. There are handfuls of loyal people in the world; loyalty forms the basis of human character. A truly loyal man cannot be bribed or tempted to deviate from his own path. If there is ever a chance that an animal is not loyal, which there is, it’s likely because of neglect by an owner. The animal may have been beaten, or have been attacked by another animal; also,

    What does loyalty mean? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines loyal as “having or showing complete and constant support for someone or something” and loyalty as “the quality or state of being loyal”. I agree with that statement. When I think of the word loyalty the first thing that that comes to mind is complete trust, openness, transparency and being there for one another. Today I am going to talk about loyalty in a relationship, specifically loyalty between a husband and wife. I also interviewed my wife- Ayesha, my sister- Humera and my wife’s sister-Fatima to get theirs view on what loyalty means to them in their relationships.…
