Service Dogs Save The Day!

Service Dogs Save the Day !!!

 

     Service dogs have done remarkable things, like save humans from avalanches, and help people get around. The people who have service animals, are usually the people who are blind, or if they are paralyzed in parts of their body or if they are disabled somehow. Service dogs can tell if there is danger, and some can turn on, and off the  light . and they can open and close a door.

 

   But service animals need lots, and lots of training or they will not know how to do their job correctly. And if they do something you want them to do you have to reward them somehow. And if they don’t do something you want them to do just don’t reward them don’t punish them.

Some dogs work for a special service like the F.B.I,police, fire company, or president.

 

Police dogs do work like smelling in people’s suitcases for hidden weapons, and catching criminals . Other dogs help fire companies by finding people who didn’t get out of houses that are burning. Some dogs may work for the president’s secret service ,but sadly it’s a secret. Some dogs also save people from avalanches, and from cave fall ins.

 

     Also service dogs can sniff stuff from real far away and they will do lots of things for you. They will bark at cars, and they will also stop you when you’re walking towards a big hole or towards any sort of danger. And police dogs are sometimes called K9 units or in the army. K9 units normally bite anybody they are told to. Here are some types of dogs you will normally find people using as K9 units. German Shepherds even though they sound like sheep dogs they’re not usually sheep dogs. Also Doberman Pinschers can be used as K9 units. Also Belgian Malinois is used as a K9 unit dog.

 

   But service dogs are more than seeing eye dogs, and K9 dogs. They are also avalanche working dogs. Like her are some mountain dogs, one is the Siberian Husky,  another is the Bernese Mountain Dog, and another mountain dog is named the Greek Shepherd, and there is tons of other mountain dogs. And I bet there is tons more out in the wild scientists haven’t discovered yet. Whenever mountain dogs are called they try to find something the person had they sniff it then they follow the scent. And when they get to the person under the ice, or rock or whatever. The people dig out the person and if he’s alive he’s saved so the dog gets a reward somehow and they live happily ever after , for a little bit of time.

Let’s See Seals! Week 7 Student Blogging Challenge

Seals are one interesting creature.  People can train them, to do funny nice things. I like seals because they are funny, sometimes cute, and they can learn many things but you need to give them time like dogs. And you have to give them treats or reward them somehow like dogs if they do something you want them to do. They have torpedo heads, and they are divided into three different groups called the eared seal, the earless seal, the harbor seal, and elephant seal, and the walrus. The eared seal is called the eared seal because they have ear flaps that open their ear openings.

Earless seals are named that way they don’t have ear flaps but they do have ears. The largest seal is called the elephant seal and by hearing the name I think I can tell why they are called the elephant seal. The male version of a seal can grow up to 16 feet, and weigh up to 8,800 pounds seals go to special area called rookeries. Walruses are pretty different than seals they they are the only type of seal with tusks. But walruses have something in common with earless seals, and eared seals. Like eared seals, walruses have use their hind flippers too get around some areas. And like earless seals, walruses have a little ear opening but zero outside ears.

One other thing that is interesting about seals is what they eat, but some things they eat you may not like they like to feed on some other marine animals. They have sharp pointed teeth not what you would expect from a seal.They cannot chew food because they don’t have any flat teeth to chew it up just sharp. They swallow the whole fish at once that is definitely not what you would expect from a seal.

The Hamburger is a popular food in the U.S.A. The Hamburger is a popular fast food in the U.S.A it is eaten by many people, it is known for tons of different things you can put in it. Like you can choose extra cheese, extra meat and tons of other possibilities. The normal drink for a Hamburger is a type of soda, and it’s normal side is French Fries. There are tons of places where you can get a fine burger in the USA, like Wendy’s, also Burger Kind, and McDonald’s, Chilies, Arby’s, Five Guys. And tons of other places to get Hamburgers!

An original Hamburger has of course buns, burger meat, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise ( Sometimes), lettuce, onions, tomatoes, that’s all. So a Hamburger has a series of stuff in it, but sometimes they are Chicken Patties instead of Hamburgers. The Chicken Patty is basically the same thing as a Hamburger but Chicken instead of the burger meat it’s pretty good too.

Friendly Letter

 

Dear Sally,

here is what happened when I met a horned toad. I was riding my horse then I saw a lion he run towards me, I made my horse go twice as fast then I managed to make it away safely but .First I was out on a sunny day the horse didn’t make away it safely she got a scar from a lion scratch but at least it wasn’t a serious injury the next day the horse spotted a Horned Toad it was big fat and just waiting for a deal. The Horned Toad made a deal that he will give me twice the amount of corn I get every day and, hay and he said he would help, heal my horse a bit.

And what I would have to do for him is give him half my dinner let him sleep on a pillow and cuddle up in a blanket. And I would have to help him find some other food. And give him a five

minute massage each day we do the deal. And I said,”Deal”  So that meant the deal was on.

so I told him to get my hat. He gave me the hat ,but I rode away on my horse as fast as I could. Not helping the toad.Then when I got home I noticed that I had twice as amount of corn I picked today. And there was tons of hay on the ground more than I picked today, and I saw that the toad healed my horse. Than the toad gave the eye and that meant I had to do my part of the deal. When I was dinner time I had my favorite food Chili, and I got a big a big bowl which was the worst part, I had no choice I had to give half my dinner to the toad, than I let him in my pillow and gave him my blanky but then I overreacted and jumped onto the toad when he was asleep,”My blanky!!! No toad takes my blankie!” So then the toad got off the pillow. Then I helped him find some flies in the barn, and then got him near an infested pond and he ate most of the bugs there. And finally I had to give him a massage. “Seriously why do you want a massage! I’m not giving you a massage, why do you even need one!” Then the toad said,”The massage was part of the deal so you know the drill around here if you make a deal than you gotta follow.” My dad once told me that if you make a deal in the Old West you gotta do it.

               Than one day the toad asked me if he wanted to kiss then I said, “ew! Why would I want to kiss you? You’re gross and filled with bacteria!” Than the toad said,”if you give me a kiss than I will leave immediately.” Then I agreed and poof! The toad turned into a completely new man and he went off riding into the sunset. And sometimes I don’t know why people made such myths.
