Dogs Dogs DOGS!

Bonjour! So my whole life I have been smitten with dogs and have always had at least one at all times. To me they are one of the most wonderful, calming, sensitive, playful, and human - like pets/animals in the world. I recently went to India, about a month ago, and while I was there my mother got bit by a dog. Even though it was my grandparents' dog, it made me realize how differently dogs are treated in India from America. In America, dogs are our friendly companions who become like family to us. In Paris dogs are even allowed in restaurants! And many dogs who do not have homes get taken in by shelters and cared for.
             But in India, there are thousands of dogs roaming the streets, all homeless and all hungry. There are no shelters to take them in and many people are afraid of dogs there because they could have diseases or be dangerous. For the people who have enough money, they could get guard dogs (such as my grandparents), though the dogs are not treated as 'pets'. Being a guard dog is great for dogs because they get fed well and have a home and owners who care about them, though there are some things that distinguish them from the common household pet back in America. For instance, they are trained to guard, meaning that they could be dangerous and could potentially hurt someone by accident (like my mother). So that is why I think that we should figure out a way to help create a few dog shelters in  India that could care for the dogs and look after them in a safe way so that the dogs don't have to rough it out all alone on the busy streets. This is because when we were there I felt so sad for all of the dogs there who had no home and were in search of food in order to survive, where here in America many dogs are spoiled living off of three meals a day and eating like humans when many dogs all over the planet are in need of help.

That's just my opinion - share yours below in the comments section!


         






I'M GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!

Hola! So I know that for my last post I said that I was going to turn this blog into an animal - centric fiesta but....I started thinking that maybe I could add to that idea a bit more by incorporating all different topics! So I'm going to change it to a multitude of ideas inspired by our world. This blog will be a great way to get people thinking about what they can do in the world to help! I am going to talk about everything, such as rescuing animals, donating things to charity, to even how to not feel depressed! This blog is all about how to feel good, be happy and help make a change in the world, and I hope you find it inspirational!

I am going to start writing about endangered animals, animals, protection of animals, foundations that protect animals, etc. Basically this blog is becoming totally animal centric and I am so excited!  This is because I am a complete animal lover, and I really want to share my passion with you! Hopefully this new concept will fair well and that you all enjoy it! Also, the ocean concept is not totally out of the picture yet, so don't get too worried!
