For my social norm breakage, I decided it would be interesting to walk an invisible dog. I borrowed my friend’s dog’s leash. Then later on that afternoon I went to a dog park and noticed many people playing and running with their dogs. At first I was quite nervous because I thought I might not be able to pull it off but then I just started to act like I had a dog and it was sitting beside me. I started to talk to ‘my dog’ named brownie and I was basically just petting the air.
Pitbulls have been known for many uses throughout history such as herding sheep, cattle, and unruly bulls. The jobs sometimes became dangerous, such as helping tame bulls that did not want to be trained. The word ‘pit’ in Pitbull is believed to be from Pits who are able to trap rats and not allow them to escape. There have been many famous Pits over the years such as “Petey the Pup” from the Little Rascals and a special Army Pit known as Sergeant Stubby. This Pit was known during World War I for helping save troops overseas by alerting them of a bomb close by.
Every time you come home, they act like they haven't seen you in a year. And the good thing about dogs... is they got different dogs for different people. Like pit bulls. The dog of dogs. Pit bull can be the right man's best friend... or the wrong man's worst enemy.
"You wouldn't think it to look at him now, but he was the best damn sheep dog I have ever seen." As a reader, the individual can see how highly the character commends his dog. Also through the text the reader can see how Candy relies on his dog. They both need each other. Candy needed his dog to get jobs on a cattle farm as he could herd animals and his dog needed an owner in his older age.
He also stops on the highway for people who are having car trouble, even though he thinks a jack is a type of rabbit. As you can imagine Joe Bob is not much help.

When you first meet candy in the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ by John Steinbeck, you see Candy with his beloved dog. Raising this dog from a pup, Candy felt a very strong bond with his companion, even though the dog could not speak, sometimes words don’t need to be said to show an un-dividing love. Candy was very proud of his dog, boasting things such as “You wouldn’t think it to look at him now, but he was the best damn sheep dog I ever seen.” (Page 47) But, Carlson insisted on putting the dog out of its misery as he was very old, could not eat solids, could not see and it was obvious that it hurt him to move and eventually Candy gave in. Candy didn’t want to let go of his companion because his dog kept him company and without it he would be lonely, and this was an obvious fear of his, which Candy showed by his reluctance to give his dog to Carlson. The reason for Carlson’s eagerness to get rid of the dog was because he didn’t share the special bond between Curly and his dog.
According to a 2006 study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence owners of dogs considered “vicious” like the Pit Bull were more likely to have criminal convictions of aggressive crimes, drugs, alcohol, domestic violence, and firearms. There is a great deal of organizations that help this bullied breed as much as they can. One of these organizations is Hope for Paws, a non-profit organization that helps rescue abused and neglected animals. Hope for Paws is also responsible for creating a huge network of rescuers all over the world. Rescuers upload their impacting videos to the network for the world to see.

Since we were not able to cross the road we little bucks could only search for food in the low lying areas where there was almost nothing left growing. The dogs had taken most of what was left. The dogs didn’t like us very much always picking on us younger deer but they sure howled and ran when dad was around throwing his horns around. I hope someday my horns get to be that size. My older brother is always telling me how my horns will not grow unless I do something dangerous and heroic to make them grow.
Napoleon used the dogs as a way to get rid of Snowball and take control of Animal Farm. Napoleon also uses his intelligence to take advantage of the animals on Animal Farm who are not as knowledgeable. For instance, “Muriel read the Commandment for her. It ran: “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.” Somehow or other the last two words had slipped out of the animals’ memory” (98). Napoleon, knowing well enough that the animals were not as educated as he was, took advantage of their stupidity.
