Personal Narrative: My Personal Experience With Dog Obesity

348 Words2 Pages

Reading this article, I remember my own personal experience with dog obesity. When I was younger, my family owned a Labrador who was overweight for most of his life. Despite our best efforts, he was unable to lose weight. Towards the end of his life, he developed severe knee problems and was constantly in pain. At the time, the cause of knee problems was unknown and I felt awful that I couldn’t help him through his pain. While reading, I was informed that my dog’s obesity could have been the cause of his knee problems. After continuing through the article, I could conclude that perhaps my dog’s outcome was inevitable due to his genetics and I had little control over the situation. In simpler terms, there was nothing that I could have done

  • Let Them Eat Dog By Jonathan Safran Foer Analysis

    242 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the article “Let Them Eat Dog”, Jonathan Safran Foer addresses the taboo subject of humans using dogs as a form of protein and sustenance. He analyzes the intelligence of our canine companions in comparison to the species most Americans would believe to be acceptable to consume, such as: pigs, cows, and chickens. While their intelligence is relatively similar, even the most devoted of carnivores still wouldn’t consider dog as a meal option. “Despite the fact that it’s legal in 44 states” (Foer para 1), poses no additional health risks than any other meat, and tastes just as good, American people still refuse to cook the family dog. Foer goes on to mention how millions of dogs, as well as cats, are euthanized every year just in the United
