Personal Narrative: When I Got My Puppy

Every year we made our own wish lists, decorating them in green and red stickers. Although, for the last few years, all we wanted was one simple gift, in our opinion. It was a puppy. A puppy that would run around in our house and backyard, tennis ball stuffed in his mouth and the look of joy on his cute puppy dog face. It was the only thing I truly ever wanted, however my parents continued to stress that is was too much of a responsibility since my brother and I were at a fairly young age.

The book, A Dog’s Purpose, follows a dog who searches for his unique purpose in life. The canine experiences reincarnation four times, and in every one of his different lives, he tries to accomplish making his human happy. In his first life, he is Toby and lives in the Yard with a woman called Señora. Toby adjusts to his life in the Yard and assumes his purpose is to make Señora smile. He comforts her and takes pride in being her favorite.

Ever since I was a young boy I wanted to get a dog and name him Lightning and this was the perfect opportunity to get one. “Are you 100% sure you want this dog and are going to be responsible for this dog.” said my Mom. “Yes, of course I’ll be the most responsible dog owner in the world.” I answered. In my head I knew I wouldn’t take care of him that much and that my mom would feed him and do most of the work. But I knew that I would make sure he goes out and I would play with him always.

How large a dog do you want when it grows to full size? Remember a dog like a Yellow Lab, which can be a great family dog, can grow to 70 to 80 pounds and more. Can you handle a dog that size and do you have the room for him/her to run around? What kind of dog is best suited to the family with young or infant children? Young children, yes, I know they are your little angels and can do no wrong, can be very hard on a puppy, pulling their ears or tails, hitting the dog, etc.

Many people heard of his good acts towards helping the lives of dogs/cats around the world and tons of people around the world changed their minds. In fact, he took the first steps in making the very first anti-cruelty act in 1867 along with the help of thousands of supporters. Since 1866 (when ASPCA first began), they have made extreme progress towards improving the lives of pets. They have helped more than 6.5 million dogs/cats and most of those pets have been adopted thanks to ASPCA. They have also brought many people to the realization that dogs/cats are really a girl’s/boy’s best friend and that they should be treated with love.

I have personally fostered a kitten named Twizzler and it was such a rewarding experience to both myself and to her since she is now adopted. Additionally, I got to become more involved with the community as I am now an official member of Conrad’s Strays and have even been invited to multiple fundraiser events and adoption fairs to help more animals in need. Animals help us with so many things, like calming us down when life gets tough, causing a laugh now and again; so, isn’t it time that we give back by preventing them from living on

When I was growing up, my family and I would always go to our local animal shelter and adopt animals. Adopting animals and being able to give them a forever home was such a rewarding feeling. Just walking in and seeing how excited the animals got seeing us was exciting. Animal shelters are usually cheap when adopting animals. The adoption comes with lots of benefits for your new animal.

This quote shows that after they became friends Suryia would then start to interact with others and start to eat. The author stated, "Although nobody would expect an orangutan and a dog to be inseparable, they are truly a perfect pair." This how a dog could be able to feed the litter of kittens just like she feeds her newborn

But, because of her innocent and naïve nature, her trust is again betrayed by the antagonist of the story, Mr Grey. One day, as the rest of the Grey’s family is out of town, Mr Grey and his friends bring Aileen’s puppy to his laboratory and performed an experiment. “…they took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too, feeling proud, for any attention shown the puppy was a pleasure to me…” She misunderstands that these men are going to cause harm to her pup, so when they do she is so naïve and trusting that she thinks everything is still alright. “he patted my head, and there were tears in his eyes, and he said, "Poor little doggie, you SAVED his child”. As the footman buries Aileen’s puppy, she does not understand the nature of the situation and the structural irony that has taken place.

In December we have a posada which is celebrating Jesus’ birthday it’s either a week or just a day. So later on in that month we start to ask for donations for food that we use to make burritos. The day before christmas we wake up early in the morning to prepare everything to make the burritos. We also give our time to volunteer at the food bank and help pack the food, we also donate food to them as well. My personal favorite is volunteering at the animal shelter just being with all the dogs and cats is just amazing.

A doctor had brought a bunch of puppies to the surgery enter. My dad saw them and knew that my family was eventually going to get a puppy, so instead of talking to my mom, he texted my sister and me. My dad got a doctor to pick us up and take us to the surgery center. When we got there we saw the puppies and immediately loved them. My dad said we should bring the puppies to the hair salon where my mom was.

I will always remember my dog, Tootsie, fondly. The first night that we had her, she woke me up in the middle of the night. I should have been upset, but as I sat and held her, I knew that she would be an important part of my life. She was always there when I was growing up, happy to see me and ready to play with her stuffed baseball. She was there at family events like Christmas and Thanksgiving, brightening up people’s holidays.

Maltese VS Toy Poodle. “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” By Josh Billings. This quote is the reason I chose this topic, animals are very important among humans and especially to me. Growing up, my family always had smaller dogs such as a Maltese (Tilly) and a Toy Poodle (Wookie). Due to providing and maintaining one of each breed, I feel as if I could advise somebody which of the two would be better for them.

Little did I know, my newly found pup was pregnant. Three months later, she had two puppies, Cookie and Nesquik, who became my best friends. I still remember watching them grow up. I was the first person Nesquik ever saw and I 'd like to believe it was love at first sight. Until the day Bendy Straw had puppies, we believed she was only gaining weight because we fed her well.

Comparison-and-Contrast Essay: Old Dogs (Seniors & Adults) vs. Young Dogs (Puppies & Adolescents) When I was younger, my family adopted a four year old dog named Chelsea. Ten years later, my family decided on a whim to adopt a nine month old puppy, Snoopy. From this experience, my family and I have learned a great deal about the stark differences living with an adult to senior dog and an energetic little puppy. Although many people seem to prefer the idea of adopting a puppy or adolescent dog, adult and senior dogs are also great additions to a family because they are often less dependent and more mature, while still providing a loving companionship. Dogs, young or old, all have individual personalities; however, a dog’s age does make an impact when comparing and contrasting behavior, energy level, and the responsibilities an owner has when taking care of a dog.
