In the articles “How the Wolf Became the Dog” and “How the Dog Became Part of the Family” by Sarah Albee and Lauren Tarshis. Talk about why so many people have dogs for pets because dogs are very useful for the jobs they can do, so many have dogs for another family member, and dogs help kids.

In conclusion, I think it would be immensely beneficial for me to get a dog for various reasons I explained. My reasons are that that it would teach me how to take of something other than myself, it would educate me on how to be patient, and it would show me how to own up to my actions and take responsibility. I would never push the work onto you guys, I would be responsible for him/her twenty-four seven. All possible counter-arguments I proved hold no value of any sort. There really isn’t any reason why I should not be able to get a…
In ancient Egypt, they held cats up high for poise and grace; they even had a goddess cat, named Bast (Bastet). When Egyptians lost their cat, they would mourn as if they lost a family member. To kill a cat, even accidentally, was an automatic death sentence. Cats were believed to be guardians of the gates of hell, and to prevent demons, ghouls, and spirits from escaping, and prevent them from entering homes of humans. So why people find this animal cute, adorable, and friendly is beyond me. Who would want a pet that was held up to be a god? That people have killed over and treated like a human? That is associated with hell and all its demons? Animals aren’t human, so these cats should be treated exactly like pets. Not equals, not “man’s best friend”, but an animal. You can’t take them everywhere with you like you can a dog, and if you leave them home, they may pee everywhere, claw up the couch, get into everything they shouldn’t, and make a ridiculous mess.…

Housing animals in human care have been a serious dilemma for our public. The views on this differs with everyone. One view is the animals should not be under human care and should be in their natural environment. While others believe that animals in human care with the correct rules and regulation then it is not a problem. Animals in human care can be for zoos, aquariums, and even the domestic pets living with individuals. Any dilemma within the society will have pros and cons such as housing animals in human care. I do not oppose to humans housing animals if rules and regulations are respected.…

How many times have you seen a cat play with their owner or run and fetch a stick? How many times have you seen a deputy cat? On the many occasions that you happen to see a dog, are they always so lazy and cannot be bothered to play with you? Scientists have studied and interpreted the ways of these species. They have come up with conclusions to support their research as well as many similarities and differences between both species. Both of these sophisticated animals have many similarities, but they are different in many ways; such as being trained, their personality, and means of marking their territory.…

Arguments between who has better taste in music, in fashion, opinions have not rested and appear to never rest any time soon. If there is one thing people love to do: it is to argue and discuss ideas. People love to argue about the best types of pets. One of the biggest debates on this Earth is which is a more adequate and loveable pet--cats or dogs. In any situation, dogs are better suited for the best position than cats by a long shot. There are many reasons why dogs are superior to cats because dogs have traits that cats lack and will probably never attain these traits. Dogs can provide protection, they are loyal and give affection, they allow themselves to be trained to their master’s likings, and they are able to help people. Cats can…
