Pojoe Narrative
Pojoe
Before this happened to me I thought dogs didn’t really have feelings or understood what was going on.
After this happened to me I learned dogs are very similar to people and can get sad too.
This is important because a lot of people don’t understand that dogs are very fragile inside just like people are.

My mom and my dad got me a pit bull whenever we moved into our new house across from my friend, Emmett. His name was something like pecan or peaches, but since I was so mad I had to get a big dog instead of a puppy, I didn’t even care about his name so I called him Pojoe. After that day the name just stuck to him and even my whole family called him Pojoe. I and he started to build a special bond that no one could take away from us.

Maybe he’s just as stressed as me and my mom are about the change. He did have a close relationship with my dad. “Come on Pojoe,” I said while I untied him from the post. “Wake up,” my mom shouted. “Pojoe pooped in the house again.” “Again?” “Yes, and I’m fed up.” She told me with a stern voice. Later that day I got home from school and was greeted by some more poop to clean up.
“I’m tired of cleaning this up Pojoe.” I told him while I walked to get paper towels and cleaning spray. Not long after that my mom came home with bad news.
“Marquis?” She called from the front door.
“Yes?” I shouted back.
“Come here, I have some good and bad news,” she said after the closed the door.
“Bad first.” I told her with a shaky voice.
“We have to get rid of Pojoe.” She told me waiting for my reaction. An awkward silence filled the room, including Pojoe.
“What’s the good news?” I asked her as tears rolled down my cheek.
“I’ve found him a good home, with a big yard and a nice family,” she said and wiped my tears. The next day we took him to his new home. It was hard to see him leave, but I hoped he would like it there. After that day I always wondered if he would miss me. I gave up on our bond. I still think about him, and I hope he thinks about me sometimes

    But they usually try the “cheap” route which is only the cheaper choice at the moment. Humans are fine to show love and affection, but pets are even better. The only problem is, pets show a tremendous affection, and in the article “Why A Man’s Best Friend Is A Man’s Best Friend” it says,“Children often turn to their pet for comfort if a friend or a family member dies or leaves the family. Grieving adults who did not have a close source of human support were also found to have less depression if they had a pet”(Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff). Dogs know exactly how their human is feeling 99% of the time and if they do not know, they are always trying to figure it out. In “Huffington’s Post” they said, “Dogs are very attuned to humans' moods, which makes them a good gauge of what we're feeling. They're "an emotional barometer. Dogs have been domesticated for about 12,000 years," he says. "One of the things that research has shown is dogs have learned over these years, perhaps better than any other being, how to read our nonverbal behavior." (Klein,…

    I then proceeded to cut open the toothpaste and scrape the remainder out of the bottom. While brushing my teeth, I glanced over at the one sad little sheet of toilet tissue hanging from the roll. It stared at me. It was as if it had eyes, eyes that said, “Hello Naysay, you’re such a fucking loser you can’t even afford a roll of damn toilet paper.” What would they use when they came home from school?…

    Pit bulls love to spread joy and happiness, and love seeing their family smile and happy. Dogs can sense any change in emotion much faster than humans can by using their sense of smell. Dogs seem to genuinely care about their owner's emotions and can listen and respond better than most humans (Skloot 1). Whether it is an adult or child, pit bulls just want to see the people that they love happy (Gladwell 1). Dogs love to give big wet slobbery kisses to everyone they meet. Puppies love to cuddle with their family in big cozy blankets. Canines are always happily wagging their tails, and are always ready to play with the…

    “And very little is known about these free-ranging, village dogs.” His team rectified that by collecting blood samples from 549 village dogs in 38 countries across 6 continents. “I did my Ph.D. work with tropical butterflies; by comparison, working with dogs is fantastic,” he adds. “You don’t need to hunt them down with a net. You show up, you have food, there are dogs.” (http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/genetic-study-writes-yet-another-origin-story-for-dogs/411196/) Dogs have always been considered “Mans Best Friend.” However that title has barely lived up to it’s name when there are still dogs all around the world that get abused and murdered by their owners. Dogs who get dropped off in the middle of nowhere because their owners just can’t keep up with them anymore. Dogs who are euthanized because they’ve been in the pound so long and there is no hope for them to ever be rescued, may that be because of old age or even a history of biting people. Dogs are not born monsters, humans created the idea. Dogs may hurt you because of their past experiences with lousy…
