A Tail To Tell “A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of wicked are cruel” (Proverbs 12:10).

Unfortunately, this young pup’s innocence will come to a screeching halt in a year or two. These neighbors are morally corrupt and have adopted this puppy to fall victim of growing up in a puppy mill. A puppy mill is “a large-scale commercial dog breeding operation where profit is given priority over the well-being of the dogs” (ASPCA).
Dear editor, The piece called ‘End the menace of attack dogs’ published on the 19/8/11 in The Age, has stunned me. I know dogs well; my family has had many in our past.

Carolyn Jones tells us in her critical insight of To Kill a Mockingbird that “Atticus allows himself to be the target of an irrational force and its violence as he acts to protect innocent people” (147). The reader sees this protection of the innocent in three key scenes: shooting Tim Johnson, defending Tom Robinson, and an altercation with Bob Ewell. First, in chapter ten, the reader sees Tim Johnson, a rabid dog, heading straight for the neighborhood in which Atticus lives. Though he has not shot a gun in many years, Atticus steps up and shoots the rabid dog in order to protect the innocent people in the neighborhood.
