Can You Guess What Animal I am.......?

 I stay small, medium or big. I come in all different colors. I only have four legs. I like too chase things around outside. I'm a house pet. Did you guess it by now? I'm a dog! I love how many different breeds there are of dogs. My favorite kind of dog would defiantly have to be a German Shepard. I think those dogs are so beautiful, and those dogs are very good when trained well.

 


 “We can judge the heart of person by his treatment of animals.” -Immanual Kant I love this quote because I really think it’s true. If someone’s going to treat a poor innocent dog like its nothing to them and abuse them, what makes you think that person even has a heart? Because I sure in the heck don't think he or she has one. That poor dog can't do much to protect itself is it won’t. Unless the dog does protect itself, then it could bite, growl and claw the person hurting it.

             

 Dogs have been around for so long. Back in the day, about 150 years ago, dogs were only used for an energy source. Nothing less and nothing more. Since dogs have been around for a long time, there’s obviously breeds older than other breeds. A breed is when an animal produces an offspring in a usual organized controlled way. Some of the older breeds of dogs that have been around a lot longer are, the Afghan Hound, Akita Inu, Basenji, The Chinese Shar Pei, and The Chow Chow. I actually had a Chow Chow so I think that's pretty cool.

 

          The average dog is as smart as a two-year-old. Dogs can understand about 250 words and hand gestures people say and do around them. They can count up to five and do a basic math problem.

          

           
 Dogs don’t really enjoy being hugged like the average person, but they will but one paw around you or on you to show their love or dominance. Which is weird, I hug my dogs all the time, they seem not to care.

I love dogs, but sometimes they can be a lot to handle. Especially when they are a puppy, it’s like having a child. On average, a dog can live up to 10-13 years old. Even if you don’t have a friend, or a significant other around, and you have a dog, you’ll always have a friend around no matter what. That’s why dogs are so cool!
