A Dog's War: A Short Story

The book “The Captain's Dog” follows Lewis and Clark's expedition, which took place from 1804 to 1806, to find A waterway that travelled from the east coast to the west coast, were they end up in modern day Oregon. Most of the U.S. had not been claimed by Europe and was owned by other countries. The expedition was started by George Washington who was the president at the time, sent out Lewis and Clark after the Louisiana purchase, which was when the U.S. had bought A large amount of land from Spain. Lewis and Clark had started the expedition in missouri, following the mississippi river. Though they did not discover A passage way, they discovered many new species of animals. Captain Clark had also brought along his dog, Seaman, who had gotten

The dog soldiers were one of six elite fighting group of the Cheyenne tribe. Dog soldiers also helped in the tribe with solving murders, robberies, and other crimes. The Dog soldiers group began in early 1800. The warriors were the last line of defense to the tribe if anything terrible happened. The these highly trained Native Americans were outfitted with a particular sash which trailed the ground, they would usually wear war paint on the faces, and the highest ranked chief would wear a headdress full of owl feathers; the four bravest warriors in battles would wear a dog rope across their chest. They would how a skunk hide belt around their hips. During a battle, the warriors would tether themselves to the ground to prove they would not run

It is hard to pinpoint exactly when we lost our humanity. Perhaps it was during the Canine Wars or even long before that. The roads were paved thin with an eerie feeling of death, haunting every living corner of our hopeless future. The year of near-extinction, six decades ago, destroyed almost all of mankind. Unwelcome, the epidemic flooded through streets and entered homes, killing without remorse—a pure destructive force of nature that no human being could have prevented. Three billion lives were lost. After almost three years of chaos and destruction, mankind found a key to ensure its continuation. Domestic cats were discovered to have been the carriers of the disease. Survival came at a horrific cost as felines were hunted down in the name of saving the human

Dogs had a vital part to play in World War One as the complexes of trenches spread throughout the Western Front. It is estimated that by 1918, Germany had employed 30,000 dogs, Britain, France and Belgian over 20,000 and Italy 3000. America, at first, did not use dogs except to utilise a few hundred from the Allies for specific missions. Later, after a chance stowaway, the USA produced the most decorated and highly-ranked service dog in military history, Sergeant Stubby. Lots of dog breeds were used during World War One, but the most popular type of dogs were medium-sized, intelligent and trainable breeds.

Riley entered the world on April 23rd, 1999. Her mother, Jamie, has been by her side her entire life. She has been a crucial part in Riley's childhood. But as nurse, Jamie, had countless hours in her occupation as a nurse, and being a single mother, Riley had a lot of time to herself growing up. That time was mostly spent with her childhood best friend, Wyatt. Wyatt is Riley’s older brother. Even though he is four years older than her, they still could never be separated. Wyatt always guided her, and was truly

Across the world people abuse animals for sport, gambling, and pure exploitation like dog fighting, cock fighting, and breeding dogs just to be able to sell them to places such as shady pet stores and such. Dog fighting is a very lucrative illegal activity that goes largely unpunished these people take poor dogs and inbreed them with their moms, dads, and siblings to be able to create the perfect fighting dog that can make them loads of money. Some other things these groups do include giving them drugs that induce rage and make them even more lethal. These sorts of activities give other breeds such as pit bulls bad reputation; any dog regardless of type can be prone to violence, especially due to birth defects to inbreeding. In other parts

Canines have been used in war for thousands of years for different purposes. In the United States Military they were used seldom until the beginning of World War II. Previously, they had been used to carry equipment using packs or sleds in the state of Alaska. Many other countries used dogs in war as well, including France, Japan, and Germany. The benefits that came with introducing dogs to the military were extensive, changing the way many operations were carried out as well as saving thousands of soldier’s lives. The canine’s natural abilities including their acute sense of smell, hearing, and speed were of great use to the military.

Third, there are two general concepts outlined in Leashing the Dogs of War about conflicts since the end of WWII. First, a majority of those conflicts that have been started mostly due to terrorism are located in the regions that make up what is known as the Third World. Second, most of these conflicts “either have been primarily intrastate in character or have possessed a substantial intrastate dimension even if they appear to the outside observer to be interstate conflicts” (Cocker, Hampson, & Aall, 2007, p. 95). Because religious terrorists first begin fighting within their own countries attempting to gain control, recruit new members, and likely kill those that do not follow suit, these same countries are more times than not distressed.

The article starts of directly lacking correctness to its first claim, “Within the past decade, pets-primarily dogs-have soared in importance.”(Metz 238). The evidence toward this claim (quote from a bark magazine) is incorrect because the claim can not be true. Dogs have been important or seen as one to the family for more than only the past decade. The idea that dogs are just now growing in importance is shut down by Neil Pemberton and Julie- Marie Strange in the scholarly journal “Dogs in History and Culture” when they inform readers that, “In 2011, the biologist John Bradshaw reflected that dogs had been ‘man’s best friend’ for thousands of years. Versatile and companionate, dogs had adopted to the myriad roles humans had assigned them

Christopher is an extremely intriguing character between the way he thinks and the way he copes with adversity in his life. On page 131 Christopher makes a chart in his head while trying to make a decision on weather or not he should leave to London or if he should stay with his dad in Swindon. This is a unique way to handle your options but throughout the book, this is his norm.

I think that servicemen and women should be able to keep their dog they have trained. The servicemen and women have created strong bonds with these animals. Soldiers can train their own dogs. Other people might say that making a service dog a pet might keep it from doing its job properly.

While many dog-owners walk, play, and love their pet dogs, some dog-owners use the sweet and loyal creatures to fight and make money. Povey and F.E.D.S. agree with Dog Breeds Expert when it was stated, “where you find dog fights, you’ll often find a whole many more criminal activities taking place too.” (“Dog Fighting Breeds”) Povey continues this thought with saying dogfighting “is often associated with drug dealing, gambling, and other criminal activities related to gangs.” (Povey) It is agreeable that any activity associated with such a high number of other illegal activities should be outlawed. While it is outlawed in the United States, it remains a popular sport illegally in the United States and in numerous other countries. Because dogfighting is such a popular sport, the trainers are typically very picky about the dog breed used.

The domestic dog has to be one of the most unique animals that the human had ever bred. All dogs were formed differently and for separate reasons; whether it be for their looks or for their personal attributes, the dog has been evolved around humans and yet many breeds were created by humans themselves. I also believe that having a dog is a necessity to having a balanced life, just how Cesar Millan was quoted on the Brainy Quote web page “The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you”. Your dog runs off of your actions and emotions

DOGS OF WAR is an action script. The idea of mercenaries on a secret mission isn’t new to the audience, but it’s the type of plot that has a faithful following. There will always be these types of film, however, to be successful they should offer the audience something new in the plot, or offer characters that feel original and compelling.

I can’t believe it has already been a year since you left to fight in the war. I think a lot of people are still trying to emotionally recover from the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Sometimes, I find it difficult to imagine the times when America was peaceful. Doesn’t it seem like it was a while ago? Alright, enough about that. I don’t want to make you feel miserable thinking about how life used to be. I remember that in your last letter, you asked how Mother and Father are. It surprises me that you even have time to write to us! To be blunt, life is rough like the abrasive side of a sponge . . . all of our spirits wearing down over time as if we were the ones scrubbing plates every day. Unlike pre-war times, everything is being rationed - from clothing to
