Which animal is your man? A Dog A dog is loyal. It stands by it's master. This man won't fool around. If your man is a 'dog', he just doesn't lie.He is a genuine guy and doesn't beat around the bush. Dogs bark when they don't like something. They wag their tails when they do. This man will tell it like it is. He says what he means and means what he says. Lion He likes to have his way.The king of the jungle doesn't do debates. If he is fixated on doing something, nothing and no one can stop him. The environment senses it when they show up. They are domineering and certainly authoritative. Sheep The sheep is meek and quiet. This guy rarely argues with you. He is laid back and won't go on and on arguing about which movie to watch. He lets you…
No more click of his paws against the hardwood floor. Or the sound of his bellowing bark and pounding of his paws whenever someone rang the doorbell. Now whenever someone knocks on the door I wait, I wait for him to pounce toward the door and then I realize no, there won't be anymore of that, because he's gone. I can still remember the day it ended.…
Max was my best friend. He was a very lively golden retriever with a golden brown body and a white chest. My father got the dog before I was born, and just when he meets my mom. I remember feeding him table scraps and my mom getting mad because he shouldn’t have table scraps. When I was 3 years old he would snuggle with me before I went to bed, but after I got a bunk bed then he would just sleep on the floor of my room. My sister didn’t really get to see him much because he was still a baby when he had to be put down.…

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 was never a dog lover. My kids always wanted a dog. I dug my heels in but eventually, they wore me down with chorus’ of “please can we get a dog?” Begrudgingly, I began looking for a dog. It was to be a Christmas present for my kids, an older dog, a trained dog. I knew that I did not have the patience for training and I knew that when kids say they will help; I knew exactly what that meant.…

Ever since I can remember, my one driving force has been for animals. I was the girl who was obsessed with helping a hurt or lost animal, and always curious about the creatures I found in my backyard. I have a devoted passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and plan to spend my future saving them and their habitats. I want to help the people of our world understand that animals are not ours to use and abuse for material use, food, and entertainment. First with saving animas comes saving their habitats. For the way we are advancing in the technological and industrial world is not sustainable; due to human activities, we face a world with no fisheries, coral reefs, or rainforests; declining oxygen concentrations, the loss of honey bees,…
