Mutli Genre Report ( Dogs )

Dogs come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles. Some are big and some are small. Some are fat and some are not. There are so many different kinds that it would take, minutes, hours, maybe even days to name them all.
Dogs love to play. They love to play with other dogs, their owners, and even with themselves. Dogs will do anything with you. They will swim with you, they will play fetch with you, they will hunt with you, and they will even eat with you.
Dogs also need care. They need something to eat and they also need water. You should also take it to the vet once in a while to make sure it is healthy. Your dog also needs exercise. Exercise important because if a dog doesn’t exercise it could get really sick, and the ingredients in its food (calories, fat, others) may not be good for the dog and the dog wouldn’t be able to burn them off. The side effects could be bad.
Did you know dogs have jobs just like humans? Some dogs are originally bred to retrieve fishing nets out of water areas, these dogs are Labrador retrievers. Lassa Apsos are used as guard dogs in temples. And Siberian huskies have been used to herd reindeer for about three-thousand years.
Dogs have five senses just like humans. They are sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. A dog’s sense of taste and smell are closely linked and it is possible that dogs gain more information in its food from its smell rather than from its taste. They can detect bitter, sweet, salty, and sour tastes. Their taste is relatively poor and they have only one-sixth of the number of taste buds that humans have.
Dogs can hear 4 times better than humans can. They can detect sounds in six- hundredths of a second.
Moisture on the surface of a dog’s nose helps to dissolve molecules in the air. The olfactory center is 40 times larger than of a human, a dog’s sense of smell is 1,000,000 times more efficient.
Dogs’ eyes are more sensitive to movement and light than humans eyes are, but they cannot distinguish colors or outlines of objects as well.
Did you know that above all other domesticated animals; dogs show humankind a spirit of unconditional love and loyalty? They have been man’s believing and companions throughout known and recorded history. A dog can truly be called “A Man’s Best Friend”.
The ancient Greek hero Odysseus went to war while his dog, Argus, was still a puppy. The dog grew and serve other men until he was old, neglected, and cast out to sleep on dunghill. When Odysseus finally came home, this is where he found his beloved dog, Argus. The dog was too feeble to move. Wagged his tail—and died of joy. He had waited twenty years, and saw his master again at last.
As you can see I love dogs. I would do almost anything for them, or to help them, The End.
