Quinn’s Rescue Dog Prompt

by: Quinn Gormley

Rescue dogs are very helpful to society they can help you in many ways. In the articles “It’s a Dog’s Life” by Rebecca Upjohn Snyder and “Hide-and-Seek-School” by Vivienne Lenk it states facts and details about how rescue dogs help us every day. Before we talk about how they rescue you in tough situations lets talk about how they can to help you work on farms and fields “It’s a Dog’s Life” many good examples of this. In this article it talks about how one dog can herd fifty sheep at once. In the text it states that “Border collies are considered the smartest dogs in the world” Border collies are a breed of dogs for sheep herding.

However in the article “Hide-and-Seek-School” it talks about a school training rescue dogs to help save people in Colorado. They are trained to use there noses to sniff people out  and then people shovel them out, however to do this the dog must go through lots of training to do this. They usually have animals buried under snow and the dog has twenty minutes to find it they also ride on snow mobiles to get to an area.

Now lets compare and contrast the two articles. In the first article it’s about not dogs that rescue but dogs that help in other ways like sheep herding, in comparison in the other article it talks about how dogs train to save people in countless situations. Both the articles include the hard training and have to be full of energy at all times for any situation. Now lets talk about there differences the first article is taken place in a large field and the dog herds sheep into pens, in contrast the other article it is taken place in Colorado were it has very thick white snow, and the dogs job here is to save people from avalanches when it falls on a person.
