It’s a Dog’s Life: They’re Not Just Pets Anymore-They’re Teachers, Preachers, Shrinks, and Philosophers.

Allison Gillmor writes articles pertaining to the luxurious treatment that dogs receive from their owners in North America.  In many cases, the dogs are treated as if they are human. Some dog owners believe that dogs can think, understand human situations, and be able to rescue their owners from emergency situations.  Gillmor supported her article by analyzing many books about dogs.
     Personally, I have never had any interest in reading books about dogs. However, I know that canine passion can inspire both writers and readers because dogs are interesting and funny.  In the article, Gillmor quotes Canadian journalist, Roy McGregor, who says he is “old enough to remember when dogs were just dogs”. I agree with the quote because I remember having four dogs as a child who ate leftovers and spent most of their time outside. Most importantly, we were not required to clean up behind the dogs after they finished their “business”.

Currently, I have a dog-named “Waggy III”. Waggy III spends most of his time under my bed, eats only concentrated dog food, and is pretty much a “baby”. I have to clean up behind him all of the time. In many ways, some dogs have luxurious lives that many humans could not imagine.
