Man's best friend

Well, first I must admit that I knew nothing regarding what are dogs are really capable of. I just consider them as normal Pets. Back in my home country Tanzania (Zanzibar), we normally consider dogs as security guards. I saw for the first time people walking dogs and some even sleep with them when I first went to India. But before that I used to see them in movies but I just consider that as part of acting.

But from this Article which is titled “Man’s best friend” I came to realize what dogs could really do though I found some of the stories hard to believe. Like the story of Laika who went to space back in 1957, Hachiko the faithful one who kept waiting for his master for 10 years at the train station and finally come Rob the parachutist. That’s was the funny one, how can a dog for a parachute! For God sake how can he land the thing!

But on the case of Arcon and Bertie, especially Bertie I deeply found it interesting and touching I can say. Cause as for Bertie it was her daily routine to help out people who are having hearing difficulties. Honestly, they should bring such dog in my home country as we have a lot of people with such difficulties and who have no one to look after them.

Lastly comes Arcon, the story is interesting but not as that of Bertie cause Arcon is just useful only in case of emergency but as for Bertie, it was her daily routine.

Cheers!

  1. Thanks Kassim. It's great that you related the stories to life in your country and made a comparision. In writing, you should always write 'because'. 'Cause' has a different meaning. Good work :)
