Rescue Dogs Prompt
By: Finley Warren
Have you ever wondered about the different search and rescue dogs? In the passages, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, it discusses to different rescue dogs lives. In It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder, it talks about the how these intelligent dogs herd sheep. In “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le it discusses the dogs important job of finding people buried in snow. In this essay I will compare and on contrast the two articles.
In the passages, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, the dogs are very different but are just as much alike. In this paragraph, I will explain why the dogs from the texts, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, are very similar in many different ways. For example, both assist humans in their line of work. This is because the border collie in “It’s a Dog’s Life” helps the human herd animals, (mostly sheep), and the dogs in “Hide-and-Seek-School” such as Rube, a golden retriever, it talks about the dogs helping/finding people in the snow after an avalanche. The two passages, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le and the dogs in them, are similar because they are both good at what they do because in “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder, it says that it is very difficult to herd animals. One of the many reason why this is, is because when herding sheep, ducks, goats, and pigs, there is a certain distance the dogs have to stay away or else they will panic. The text also says that it is called a pressure point. In the same way, the dogs in the passage “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, find humans buried in snow after an avalanche. It takes dogs a couple minutes to do this but humans it can take long periods of time with many people helping to find the person. These dogs both also both need a break every ounce and a while.This is how the passages, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le and the dogs in the articles are similar.
In the articles, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, the dogs are very similar but have so many differences as well. For example, the dogs in “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn herd animals and in this way they are helping humans. But this differers from the dogs in “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le because they are finding lost people after avalanches which makes them saving humans. They are also different because unlike the dogs in “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder the dogs in “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le they swim, play, and relax during the summer but the dogs in the other story work whenever the animals need to be herded, yet they do get breaks by showing off to little children during visiting hours. The dogs are loving to the children but they also are working while they do this. They dogs in “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le do not do this. Lastly, the dogs and the articles are different because in “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, the dogs have different owners such as Rube’s owner Aaron Robbins, but in “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder, it seems to only be one owner owning all of the herding dogs. This is how I feel the texts, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, as well as the dogs in the two passages differer from each other.
Now as you can see, in the passages, “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Le, it really does talk about the the lives if rescue dogs. I personally think that rescue dogs are very helpful and are a part of man kind today. Don’t you want someone to save you if were buried in snow? I certainly don’t think people don’t what sheep running around. Think these amazing dogs have very much made the world a better place. I feel that I shown you how they are helpful. This is the end of my rescue dog essay.
