A Dog Is Man's Best Friend
Mary O'Dell

1"A dog is man's best friend." This popular quote expresses the way many people feel about dogs. Cats, birds, gerbils, and even goldfish can make excellent pets, but the ideal pet to have is a dog.

2 First of all, dogs are affectionate and fun companions. They will cuddle up to their owners to be petted. These loving animals are always ready for a hug or pat on the head. If they get the chance, some will even give their human friends a sloppy, wet kiss! Most dogs are playful, too. They love to chase sticks and fetch balls. According to the Humane Society, thirty-nine percent of U. S. households own at least one dog. So it is no secret that dogs provide hours of enthusiastic entertainment and companionship.

3 Secondly, many dogs are protective of their owners. In addition to cuddling and fetching, dog lovers appreciate the protective nature of many canines. Many dogs bark to alert owners when someone comes to their home. A dog owner often feels safer just knowing he has a loyal dog willing to protect its family or alert them of danger. If barking becomes a problem, most dogs can be trained to limit annoying yapping.

4Lastly, one of the best features of dogs is that they are great exercise partners. Dogs love to go on walks. Responsible pet owners understand that dogs need plenty of exercise. Daily walks can keep dogs happy and healthy. Of course, dog lovers benefit from this fitness plan, too. Having an energetic partner is great motivation to get off the couch and get moving.

5 Simply stated, dogs are ideal pets. They are loving, fun, protective, and energetic companions. Even though owning and caring for a pet can be a big responsibility, it is worth it. Dogs truly are "man’s best friend." For the millions of dog owners in the United States, that friendship is priceless.
“Problem Puppies and Dangerous Dogs” by Cielo Sanchez

Aggressive dogs display a range of behaviors that usually begin with warnings and can end in an attack. A dog that shows aggression to people usually follows some part of the following sequence of increasingly intense behavior
• Guttural bark that sounds threatening
• Lunging forward or charging at the person with no contact
• “Muzzle punch” (the dog literally punches the person with her nose)
• Growl
• Showing teeth
• Snarl and Snap
• Bite
Dogs don’t always follow this sequence. Many times, pet parents don’t recognize the warning signs before a bite, so they are shocked and unprepared.
