In the chapter “Most Likely to Succeed” in the book “What the dog saw”, by Malcolm Gladwell they talk about how teachers are valued and praised. Studies have proved that a good teacher in a bad school is more effective than a bad teacher in a good school. Gladwell compares it to a football player throwing a football.

After reading "Scared to Death" by Ed Yong and "Wolf Family Values" by Sharon Levy, I have come to the conclusion that Sharon Levy 's article presents a stronger case. Levy wrote, "But Haber argued that by focusing on population size, the establishment has ignored the fact that the hunting of wolves warps their social structure, ripping apart the family times and traditions that define wolf society…."

Even though that these two passages state information about two whole different things it still show resemblance in some of the central points. When reading the passages we can see that even though some animals are completely different species they can work together in coordination to benefit both species if it’s for emotions or for physical performance. When reading Unusual Animal Friendships we can see that even though the orangutan was scarred for life by the death of her parents she was able to recover due to the dog being her best friend. Even though they seemed like unlikely pairs they still become best friends helping one another. The same thing occurs in the passage Animal Roles and Relationships when the sea anemone and the hermit crab work together for physical advantages such as the sea anemone being able to eat some of the hermit crabs left overs and the hermit crab receives his own personal body guard against predators.

The different breeds of dogs were created when people started migrating around the world. So the dogs learned to adapt to the new environments and dogs started having new and different traits.
