Dogs in a Human World

The partnership between humans and dogs began perhaps 14,000 years ago. Our first

interactions may have occurred when wild dogs were attracted to human garbage, or

humans may have acquired the puppies of wild dogs and trained them to be obedient

pets. By means of the careful selection of dog parents, humans have been able to

create a wonderful variety of dogs with plenty of talents and many different looks.

Here are three examples of "a dog's life" in the human world.

The working dog

Jacques is one of many beagles that work at airports for the U.S. government in a

program known as the Beagle Brigade. Beagles were chosen for this work because of

their powerful noses. Their job is to smell and alert officers to illegal fruits,

vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. They do the job far better than

humans could alone.

Some of the beagles who work in the program are donated by private owners, but many

are ownerless beagles rescued from animal shelters. Many beagles who were scheduled

to be euthanized are now working to keep their country safe from disease.

Treated like a queen

Tiffy, a beautiful eight-pound maltese is treated like a queen in New York City. Her owner, Nancy Jane Loewy, carefully prepares her meals of lamb, steak, salmon,

tuna, chicken, and a variety of fresh vegetables. Tiffy also gets low-fat yogurt

and cookies after dinner. Why? Loewy replies, "I have a dog because the dog needs

me."

Leowy, whose husband has a high-paying job and whose two sons are away at school,

has the time and money to treat Tiffy extremely well, and she truly enjoys doing

so. "I want to give her the healthiest, most wonderful life possible for as long

as possible."The animal carer

Jessie is a whippet that visits children who are fighting deadly diseases. She

brightens patients' days with love and gives children a chance to exercise. At the

National Institutes of Health, Jessie helps patients like young Lukas Parks to stay

strong during their long hospitalization.

Whether as workers or objects of affection, dogs have certainly proven themselves

to be beneficial to humans in many ways. At the same time, their special place as

"man's best friend" has allowed dogs to survive in a human world. While wolves and

wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the earth, domestic dogs continue to grow

in number, thanks to their special relationship with humans.

人类和狗之间的合作始于大约14000年前。我们第一次交互可能发生当野狗吸引人类垃圾,或者人类可能获得野生狗和训练他们的小狗听话的宠物。通过仔细选择狗的父母,人类已经能够创建一个美妙的各种各样的狗,大量的人才和许多不同的样子。这里有三个例子的“狗的生活”在人类世界。

工作的狗

雅克是许多米格鲁猎犬,在机场为美国政府工作在一个程序中被称为小旅。米格鲁猎犬选择这个工作是因为他们强大的鼻子。他们的工作是嗅觉和警报官员非法水果、蔬菜和其他食物在行李或邮件。他们做这个工作远比人类孤独。

米格鲁猎犬的工作程序中由私人所有者捐赠,但许多人无主的米格鲁猎犬从动物收容所获救。现在许多米格鲁猎犬将安乐死的人努力保持他们的国家免受疾病。

当成皇后

Tiffy,美丽的8磅马耳他当成皇后在纽约市。她的主人,南希简Loewy,精心准备饭菜的羔羊肉,牛排,鲑鱼,金枪鱼,鸡肉,和各种新鲜蔬菜。饭后Tiffy也会低脂酸奶和饼干。为什么?Loewy回答说:“我有一只狗,因为狗需要我。”

Leowy,她的丈夫有一份高收入的工作和他们的两个儿子在学校,有时间和金钱治疗Tiffy非常好,而且她真的喜欢这样做。“我想给她最健康,最美妙的生活尽可能长时间的可能性。“

动物看护

杰西是一个访问孩子的小灵狗战斗致命疾病。她用爱照亮患者的天,给孩子一个锻炼的
