👨 Literary Dog Names Inspired By Male Authors For Your New Dog

If you are looking for literary names inspired by authors for your sweet boy dog, then look no further. These male authors are some of the best writers the world has ever seen and you would be a proud mom or dad at the dog park if your dog had one of these great names. We love the literary names “Ransom” and “Shakespeare”.

🐶 Inspiration For Book Lovers From Famous Dogs in Literature For Naming Your Canine Companion

These famous literary dog names are inspired by all the best doggy characters to ever grace the pages of a book. Dog owners should recognize most of these names and the only problem facing them is choosing just one. We love the literary dog names “Apollo” and “Bandit”.

👶 Famous Literary Dog Names From Children’s Literature For Your Pet Dog

These literary dog names are some of the most well-known from children’s literature. Many of these characters have been immortalized on TV through the on-screen adaptations of these classic stories. We love all these characters too much to even try to pick a favorite.

👽 Inspiration For Bookish Names For Your New Dog From The Fantasy and Sci-Fi Genre

We love a story that transports us to another universe where we can lose ourselves in imagination. These famous literary dog names are inspired by the best fantasy and sci-fi books ever written. Naming your dog any of these names is sure to get the conversation flowing at the dog park.

🧾 Literary Dog Name Ideas From Historical Fiction

If you’re anything like us you are fascinated by eras from the past. We love to immerse ourselves in a well-written historical story and try to imagine ourselves living in a bygone era. We love the historical literary dog names “Benjamin” and “Gatsby” for a boy and we adore “Phoebe” for a girl.

🕵️ Literary Dog Name Ideas Detective Novels

Detective novels are full of intense intrigue and mystery and often have more than one unexpected plot twist. Which story book detective is your favorite? We like the literary dog names “Nero” and “Marlowe”.

🐲 Literary Dog Names Inspired By Mythological Characters

There is no greater indication of a phenomenal imagination than being able to create believable mythological characters and creatures to populate your novel. J.K Rowling and J.R.R Tolkien are two examples of incredible authors who do this effortlessly. Our favorite mythical character is the warlock Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunters universe – handsome, sassy, and full of glitter – what more could you want?

📚 Famous Literary Dog Names Inspired By Poetry

While this may not be the most mainstream form of literature, there is something about a great poem that simply hits you in the feels – and all of these examples are much better than the 4th grade poems we all tried to write anyways (LOL). Our top picks for literary dog names from this list are “Tyger” and “Captain” for boy dogs and “Jabberwocky” for a chatty female Husky .

Last Thoughts

We had so much fun compiling this list of literary dog names for you and we hope you’ve enjoyed reading it and that we included your favorite characters and books. Let us know if you picked one of these literary dog names for your new pooch in the comments below.

500 Of The Most Popular Dog Names

I don’t know about you, but picking out pet names can be a bit overwhelming for me. It’s hard enough to come up with a bunch of names on the spot, but finding a name that both sounds good and fits your dog’s personality? That can be rather tough.

My secret? When I need to come up with dog name ideas I check out some old fashioned name lists for inspiration. I write down a list of all the names I like, and then move onto the hard part — finding one the whole family agrees on. Now I can’t help you when it comes to finding a dog name everyone in the family will agree on, but I can give you plenty of dog name ideas for inspiration.

To help you out I’ve put together a list of 500 popular dog names. From classic and old fashioned dog names like Lady, to mythology inspired names such as Apollo, this list has a wide variety to choose from. So if you’re looking for the perfect name for your new best friend here’s 500 of the most popular dog names to help get you started.

Tip: If you’re looking for even more dog name ideas be sure to check out our list of 500 old fashioned dog names , 500 popular male dog names & 500 popular female dog names .

How Did You Come Up With Your Dog’s Name?

How did you end up naming your dog? Do you stick to names that fit your pup’s personality? When it’s time to name your new best friend do you start checking out baby name lists, or is that just me? How many times have your dog name ideas been vetoed by your family? I still can’t believe the name Taco was vetoed by my family.

Laika is named after a Russian stray dog who became the first mammal to orbit Earth . Luckily my boyfriend is into space so I didn’t get vetoed on that one. But before that? I think I got vetoed by my family at least 10 times before we settled on the name Carter. Perhaps it’s just me, but finding a dog name that the whole family agrees on is always the toughest part.

And because I am not a magical dog naming wizard I can’t take credit for coming up with all of these popular dog names on my own. I got to 350 names and started to fizzle out, so I turned to the following name lists for help:

  • Most Popular Male & Female Dog Names

I named my chocolate lab Tess. We had no intention of getting a dog but this one kind of dropped In Our lap. She was the best dog I ever had. I called her Tess because I knew she would be trouble and stressful. Didn’t matter I loved her more than any dog I ever had. Her named fit her to a “T”. She passed over the rainbow bridge. I’m getting another in a few months. I miss my Tess.

Our rescue Pomeranian is named Figment. Because while I insisted I’d find him a good home I knew I would keep him. When my husband came home one nigh and saw that the dog was still here and said “is he still here”? To which my daughter-in-law replied “no, he’s just a figment of your imagination.

50 Literary Dog Names

Look no further than your favorite book for dog-naming inspiration

dog names essay

Fly_dragonfly / Getty Images

Whether you prefer the literary classics or super modern, sci-fi reads, you can find endless dog-naming inspiration right on your bookshelf. Not only are some of the world's most beloved books jam-packed with adorable dog names, but a literary name will make your dog seem like a total intellectual, too. Just don't be surprised if you catch him or her reading up on quantum physics.

The Most Popular Literary Dog Names

The best part about naming your dog after a literary figure? With so many options, you're sure to find the perfect moniker, no matter her breed, size or personality. Here are some of the most popular dog names in the United States—according to a survey by BARK, BarkBox and Super Chewer—that also appear in literature.

  • Bella, from the amazingly popular young-adult book series Twilight
  • Charlie, from the Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
  • Luna, from Harry Potter , one of history's most popular book series
  • Finn, from the Mark Twain classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
  • Marley, from the tear-jerker novel turned tear-jerker movie Marley and Me
  • Oliver, from the Charles Dickens classic Oliver Twist
  • Romeo, from one of the most-studied and most-performed plays in history, Romeo and Juliet
  • Scout, from the Harper Lee classic To Kill a Mockingbird
  • Winnie, from the beloved children's book series Winnie the Pooh

Tips for Naming Your New Dog

It's no secret—bringing home a new pet is a lot of work. After weeks of shopping for high-quality kibble , finding the perfect, comfortable dog bed and stocking your new pupper's toy box with plenty of engaging toys , you have to check-off the toughest pup parent task of them all: Choosing the perfect name for your newest family member.

Our advice? Pick a name that's meaningful, and one you and your family members will love for years to come. Easier said than done, right? Here's some more helpful advice for your family's name game:

  • Consider names that are one to two syllables and contain hard consonants. These types of names will be easier for your pooch to hear and understand.
  • Avoid names that could sound like a command . Think: "sit" and "Kit."
  • Choose a name that's easy for humans to pronounce and spell. Remember: Your family members, friends and veterinarian will have to say (and sometimes spell) your dog's name for years and years.
  • Don't choose a name that could be embarrassing or offensive. If you'd be embarrassed to hear your dog's name called out at the vet's office or dog park, don't do it.

Literary Names for Female Dogs

From Elizabeth Bennett, to Hermione Granger, to Lisbeth Salander, some of literature's strongest, bravest and most outgoing literary figures have been girls and women. So, why not bestow one of these bad babe monikers on your rough-and-tumble girl?

  • Arya ( Game of Thrones )
  • Charlotte/Charlie ( Charlotte's Web )
  • Jane ( Jane Eyre )
  • Jo ( Little Women )
  • Katniss ( The Hunger Games )
  • Lizzie ( Pride and Prejudice )
  • Lucy ( The Chronicles of Narnia )
  • Matilda ( Matilda )
  • Nancy ( Nancy Drew )

Essay: How To Name A Dog

I’m on record saying infants are easier than puppies. You can stick a diaper on a baby and pop a pacifier in her mouth.  Not so for a puppy. You have little control over a young dog piddling everywhere and whimpering in his crate. 

Yet, I agreed to get a puppy last spring. I suppose my family was like all the others who did so during the pandemic. We sought comfort, joy and companionship during an unpredictable time. 

The idea first popped up in March when a friend said her family was taking the puppy plunge. It was a perfect time to get a dog, she reasoned, considering all the time they’d be spending at home for the foreseeable future. An 8-week-old chocolate Lab, Rona — as in coronavirus — joined their crew soon after. 

Puppies are infectious. Before long another friend surprised her kids with a goldendoodle named Charlie. By April, my daughters pleaded for a dog daily, and my husband, Mike — the person who’s supposed to be on my side, who typically does not like to complicate our lives with more things to do — agreed with them. Right there at the dinner table. Without discussing it with me first. He said they were right: It was a good time to get a dog. The girls were 10 and almost 9. He’d gotten his boyhood dog, Rudy, at that age. He couldn’t envision having grown up without him. 

It took a few weeks, but I caved — with a few conditions. I said I wasn’t going to be the only one walking the dog or picking up poop. I told Mike that we’d be investing in professional dog training and a new vacuum. And I claimed the right to approve the dog’s name. I didn’t want the girls naming him something generic, like Spot, or giving him a name fit for a Squishmallow. 

But the obsession over our prospective pet’s name had already begun. The girls researched lists of the best dog names and transcribed them onto the grocery pad stuck to our fridge. They asked to do a bracket-style selection, which is how we make lots of decisions in our household, like which movie to watch or where to go out to eat, but it wasn’t the way we were going to name our canine companion. My daughters wanted to decide on a name immediately, but I put them off. We’d narrow it down to a few favorites and wait until we’d met him, which is exactly how we arrived at their names: Sadie and Paige.  

The list was full of solid options for the male yellow Lab who’d be joining us in six weeks, although I wasn’t sold on any of them. I preferred a two-syllable human name. Sally had been my dog as a kid. Many of the contenders — like Bruce (as in Willis) and Sarge (as in the military rank) — were heavily influenced by Mike’s affinity for action movies and America. As the list narrowed, but still included things like Valentine, I reminded all three of them I had veto power. 

I’d let Mike name our first dog after his favorite character from Saving Private Ryan . Jackson, the beagle-pug, named for the film’s heroic sniper, was a difficult dog, due to no fault of his own. We never trained him, and it showed. He tinkled in the house and woke up at 5 a.m. demanding to eat until the day he died. His name missed the mark. 

Sunny, the rescue mutt we brought home the summer before, came with her name. One night, as Sadie sat with her on the floor, Sunny got spooked and bit her in the face. It was bloody and tearful. Sadie got stitches, but she was OK. She assured us she wasn’t scared, but we were. We took Sunny back. In hindsight, the way the girls gave her a wide berth should have signaled something other than fair weather ahead.

When it was time to pick up our new pup, the four of us drove to the breeder in Columbia Station, made our way up the inclined driveway and into the backyard where a brood of amber-colored puppies rolled around, nipping and pawing at one another. The girls cooed and knelt, scooping them up and studying them one at a time. They decided on the calmest in the bunch. “Come here, bud,” Mike said, reaching for the chosen one.  

“Buddy!” one of the girls squealed. They exchanged glances. “Dad called him Buddy. That should be his name.” 

“Buddy?” I said, the tone of my voice ticking up on the second syllable. “That’s not even on the list.” 

It was the most common name I could think of. In fact, it’s my default nickname for every little boy and dog I meet. We might as well name him Fido.

“What a lame name,” Mike hissed, giving me the eyes over the top of the car as Sadie, Paige and an 8-pound bundle of golden fur loaded into the back seat. 

“We don’t have to decide right now,” I said. But the girls, who don’t agree on much, were aligned on this. 

Buddy wasn’t on the list, but getting a puppy wasn’t the plan either. I went with it. I’ve discovered that this isn’t the year for holding on tightly to expectations. And as it turns out, Buddy’s given name doesn’t really matter. We seem to call him anything but Buddy. Sadie and I call him Bud. Paige calls him Bubba. And for all the tough-guy talk, Mike calls him Boo Boo Bear.

Essays About Dogs: Top 5 Examples and 8 Easy Prompts

Essays about dogs address the close relationship between a man and his best friend. Discover our top essay examples and prompts to assist you in writing.

There are 69 million households in the US with dogs. This statistic attests to the fact that many are fond of dogs and have them for many reasons, primarily for their unconditional love and emotional support. In addition, having a dog at home helps improve physical and mental health.

5 Best Essay Examples

1. long essay on dog by prasanna, 2. dogs are better than cats essay by anonymous on papersowl.com , 3. dogs are not just companions — they are true bae by anonymous on gradesfixer.com, 4. dog is a man’s best friend by anonymous on eduzaurus.com, 5. lessons we can learn from the life of our pet dogs by anonymous on gradesfixer.com, 1. the truths about dogs, 2. pros and cons of having a dog, 3. the most famous dog breeds, 4. dogs and expenses, 5. a dog’s lifespan, 6. dogs and society, 7. my first dog, 8. dogs and mental health.

“Dogs have been a companion to man for almost 40,000 years. Dogs perform many functions. They are trained and are one of the popular pets to have.”

Prasanna’s essay contains general facts about dogs, such as their origin, characteristics, behavior, love for meat, and more. She describes the dog as a four-legged animal with sharp eyes, sensitive ears and nose, and of different breeds, sizes, and colors. The essay includes the various functions of dogs, such as hunting, pulling sleds, protecting, comforting their owners, and improving their well-being. Check out these articles about animals .

“… Dogs are better than cats. The loyalty, bravery, and human characteristics of dogs, as well as, the service and personal benefits of owning a dog far exceed those owning a cat.”

In this essay, the writer mentions how dogs are more energetic, friendly, protective, and easier to train and bond with than cats. The writer effectively discusses the advantages and disadvantages of owning these pets as a dog and cat owner. It also provides the readers with the relevant information they need when they look for a pet to adopt. If you disagree with this stance, check out these articles and essays about cats .

“They can read your facial expression, socialize and communicate just like any other human does. Dogs can empathize with human feeling and match with the wavelengths of their owners in an instant. They can easily decipher your depressed condition and they can smell your fears.”

The author uses research findings and a real-life story to prove that humans and dogs share a strong bond that’s unbreakable and unfathomable. In addition, they say dogs are the best therapy animals because they are compassionate, respond in a friendly way, and do not show stressful behavior while playing with patients. 

To prove that dogs show loyalty, unconditional love, and strong friendship, the writer uses the story “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.” The story is about Hachiko, the Akita dog that walks his owner to and from the train station until his owner suddenly dies at work. As a loyal dog, Hachiko always comes to the station and waits with anticipation to witness his return until his last breath showing that they are truly best friends for life.

“… Not just a pet, but a part of the family. When we give love freely to dogs, we receive their love and affection in return. Dogs can truly be a man’s best friend, and we should be grateful to be theirs as well.”

This essay talks about the indescribable bond between a dog and its owner. Harley is the name of the writer’s big and muscular white female bulldog with a soft heart. The writer discusses how she gives them so much joy every time they play, train, and ride in the car. This essay also shows how protective the dog is and how it barks whenever someone strange approaches them. The author firmly believes that dogs are gifts sent by God.

“Dogs are not called man’s best friend for nothing. Aside the fact that they are a delight to look upon, they are also sweet creatures that act in ways we can learn from.”

This essay includes essential life lessons humans can learn from dogs, such as being adaptable to different environments or situations and remaining loyal and faithful to anything or anyone. Dogs’ carefree attitude allows them to be comfortable with themselves. It demonstrates how people can live freely to enjoy life happily. You might also be interested in these essays about animal testing .

8 Writing Prompts for Essays About Dogs

Did you know dogs are domesticated wolves ? If you plan to write a fun and engaging essay, look for amusing dog facts that many are unaware of. You can focus on one breed or discuss dogs in general. First, share the dog’s history, characteristics, and unique behaviors. Then, search for common dog myths and correct them.

If this sounds like a lot of work, do a 5 paragraph essay instead.

It has been proven that dogs are excellent for human well-being. They make people happy and comfort their owners whenever they’re sad. However, dog ownership is not just rainbows and sunshine. 

For this prompt, consider the benefits and drawbacks of adopting a dog. In the conclusion, give your own opinion on whether people should have dogs or not. Add your reasons; this could be the cost, aggressive dog breeds, or allergies.

Christmas Vacation

There are many dog breeds today. Pick the most popular ones and include why they are the ones usually seen, bought, or adopted. Write their characteristics and behaviors to help your readers learn about the similarities and differences between each dog. Use pet articles, scientific research, or other reliable sources to make your essay more credible.

You can also tackle the issue of dog crossbreeding , which can lead to genetic mutations.

Dogs need a place to sleep, training, grooming essentials, and other supplies besides the basics, such as food and water. These additional and continuous expenses hinder others from adopting dogs. Use this prompt to share factors that will help you decide whether to pursue adoption. Then, identify dog essentials and items and offer cheaper alternatives to save money.

The average lifespan of a dog is 10 to 13 years , which is much shorter than humans. This means humans usually outlive their canine companions. In this prompt, you can teach the readers how to calculate the lifespan of their dogs based on size and type. Then, advise the dog owners how they can make their dog’s stay on Earth worth it. For an interesting piece of writing, look for a story of a dog outliving its owner and how it reacted or lived out its remaining days, and include this in your essay.

Many households believe dogs symbolize protection and love. Society also adjusted to accommodate dogs with animal laws and dog parks. Further explain how interwoven dogs and the community are, that they’re now a necessary part of some people’s lives. For example, having a dog can make someone more sociable by setting a play date with other dogs and interacting with the other fur parents.

Use this prompt to share your first dog ownership experience with your readers. First, introduce your dog and how you got it. Next, describe your first dog’s unique qualities and add your unforgettable memories together.  End your essay with the greatest life lesson your dog taught you that you still practice today.

Aside from helping their owners have a more active lifestyle, dogs also improve mental health. For this prompt, focus on therapy dogs. Discuss what they offer, including their therapeutic effects on their owners. Then, identify who needs them the most. Add the best breeds for therapy dogs and why.

Dogs hold a revered place as steadfast and affectionate companions, seamlessly integrating themselves into the hearts of numerous families worldwide. Their presence brings an unparalleled mix of unwavering loyalty, genuine affection, and boundless warmth that makes them beloved members of households.

The advantages of having dogs in our lives span a spectrum of dimensions. These canine friends serve as catalysts for increased physical activity, prompting their owners to engage in walks, play sessions, and outdoor pursuits that contribute to overall well-being. Furthermore, their mere presence exerts a positive influence on mental health by alleviating feelings of stress, combating loneliness, and offering a source of unwavering emotional support. Additionally, their innate protective instincts provide a heightened sense of security, acting as vigilant guardians and enhancing safety within homes.

Nevertheless, the decision to welcome a dog into one’s family encompasses a significant commitment. The multifaceted care these companions require, encompassing aspects like proper nutrition, comfortable shelter, and consistent medical attention, necessitates careful consideration. Adequate financial preparedness is crucial, accounting for routine expenses such as food and healthcare, as well as unforeseen circumstances that might arise. Equally essential is the recognition that adopting a dog translates to embracing a long-term companionship that demands time, care, and adaptation of one’s lifestyle.

In conclusion, dogs stand as remarkable creatures that enrich our lives in immeasurable ways. However, their ownership entails responsibilities that extend beyond their endearing traits. It necessitates an understanding of their needs, financial obligations, and the enduring commitment required to ensure a harmonious and fulfilling relationship between humans and their faithful furry companions.

500+ Words Essay on My Pet Dog

Pets are a great blessing in anyone’s life. They are the only ones who love us unconditionally. Pets always offer us everything they have without asking for anything in return. The main aim of any pet’s life is to make their owner happy. Nowadays, even the term ‘owner’ is changing. People prefer their pets as kids and to themselves as parents. This is how the relationship between pets is evolving. People treat them no less than humans. For instance, they celebrate their birthdays; get those matching outfits and more.

In my opinion, I feel the pets rightly deserve it. The most common pet you can find at anyone’s place is dogs. A man’s best friend and the most faithful animal, a dog. I also have a pet dog that I love to bits. We got him when he was a little baby and have watched him grow into a beautiful dog. All my family members love him with all their heart. We love his silly antics and cannot imagine our lives without him. We named him Sasha.

Sasha – My Pet Dog

My father adopted Sasha when he was a little baby. His friend had given birth to puppies and they decided to put the puppies up for adoption. We convinced our father to get one for us. Considering they knew our family well, they immediately agreed. Little did we know that our lives would change forever after his entrance.

Essay on My Pet Dog

Sasha came in like a blessing for our family. He belongs to the breed of Labrador. Sasha was black in colour, pure coal black. He came in as a puppy with his cute little paws and eyes. We couldn’t stop gushing over this beauty. My siblings used to fight with each other as to who will get the maximum time to play with Sasha.

Read 500 Words Essay on Dog here

As and when Sasha grew up, he learned various tricks. We trained him to follow our instructions and he even learned a few tricks. We loved showing him off to our colony friends and relatives. I always took Sasha out with me as he loved taking a walk on the road.

Furthermore, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of keeping Sasha clean. Every week, we took turns to bathe him and brush him nicely. I remember I even got a bow for him from my pocket money. Sasha loved it and wagged his tail in excitement. Sasha has been with us through thick and thin and we will forever be indebted to him for his loyalty.

A Changed Life

Before having a pet dog, we didn’t know what all we would experience. After Sasha came into our lives, he changed it forever. Sasha changed the meaning of loyalty for us. We learned how this faithful animal always worked for our happiness and safety.

Certainly, Sasha made us better human beings. We are now more compassionate towards animals. There was one instance where the stray dogs were going to harm a kitten, and to our surprise, Sasha saved that little kitten and got her home.

In other words, we have learned a lot of things from Sasha. He protected us when we slept at night. He tried to cheer us up whenever anyone of us was sad. Sasha’s obedience inspired me a lot to be kind to my parents. Therefore, all the credit for changing our lives goes to Sasha.

Q.1 What are some common pet animals?

A.1 Some of the most common pet animals are dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and more.

Q.2 Why should one own a pet dog?

A.2 We can learn a great deal from our pet dogs. They teach us loyalty, compassion, courage, and obedience.

500+ Words Essay on Dog

A dog is most often called “man’s best friend”. This simple saying says a lot about the beautiful relationship that dogs and human beings share. History has infinite pieces of evidence that prove dogs were companions to humans from prehistoric times. History is replete with instances where humans and dogs shared a strong bond.

We should never think of this relationship as one-sided; it is mutual. If we call human beings the “giver” and dogs as the “taker”, then we are not doing full justice to this lovely relationship. Being the caretaker, the person is showered with love and affection every day so much that life without a pet dog appears like a nightmare!

Dogs are extremely jovial and fun-loving creatures and having a pet dog is one of the most fulfilling experiences one can have. From the responsibilities associated with having a pet to the companionship that a pet offers you, it is a very symbiotic relationship between a human and a pet and it is something that helps humans grow in innumerable ways.

Essay on Dog

Why Should Humans Pet Dog?

Are you too bored of human beings? Jokes aside, it is very natural to get fed up with the constant exposure to human relations and all the mental and physical expectations surrounding living life in a society. In this regard, pets can be great pals to people as well as offer them a support system unlike any other:

The companionship: Pets, especially dogs, can be great friends through thick and thin. Sometimes we don’t want anyone constantly talking and understanding us. We don’t want to go out and chill with friends every time we feel low. The feeling of being there with us in our comfortable environment can sometimes seal the greatest wounds.

Get a Routine : Stick with a dog and get a wonderful routine in your life. This routine involves taking care of your pet dog, taking him for a walk, feeding him food when he’s hungry, and much more. Basically, it is all about taking care of your pet dog like a parent. With time, you will feel more responsible and connected to him.

A Healthier Lifestyle : Your pet dog can’t go on a walk on its own. You will have to take him out and get him in. This means you might never go on a walk for the sake of your own health but with a pet dog with you as a companion, you will be more willing to do the hard work and seek out the fresh air with your furry friend.

Better Mental Health : It is scientifically proven that having a pet can reduce a lot of stress from life. The reason behind it is simple: love. All we need is love and the feeling of being with someone in our lives and dogs are the best to reflect these feelings. Being with a pet dog takes away the feeling of loneliness and gives you a chance to be just yourself.

Importance of Dogs

Nurturing and Life Experience

Having a pet dog is a life experience. Those who haven’t been in this position will never understand this gush of emotions associated with looking after another being. You nurture your dog in all ways possible. You feed him food, give him shelter and shower him with love and care.

You’re brought along for the journey they take in life and you are responsible for their well-being and happiness as well. This creates a bond for life between you and your dog and gives you the chance to learn and appreciate the beauty of this relationship, which might be shorter than most other human relationships one might have as one grows older.

While you nurture him by fulfilling all his needs, there is something you get back. Except for the constant companionship and support, you get back protection and security. Your pet dogs can be trusted guards for your homes.

Suppose it is late night and you are asleep, a stranger’s intrusion into your house might not get noticed by you, but your dog will instantly alarm you with a bark. Dogs are naturally protective of their owners and this has been proven time and again with various humans being saved, not just against robbers or criminals, but even in the case of fires and mishaps which the human might not realize and be aware but a dog might.

Rearing a Life

Giving a home to a pet means a lot. It is a lot more than you can ever think of. Always remember, you are saving a life. Not only this, but you are giving the best you can to save animals and life. With terrible spaces like dog pounds existing, having a pet dog ensures that you’re offering a safe and comfortable space for the animal to live in peace.

So, it is easy to understand now why having a pet dog is one of the greatest joys one can have. Dogs are loving creatures and having them around as a pet is something that helps humans grow as loving creatures themselves. Always remember: adopt, don’t shop!

Properly Write Your Degree

The correct way to communicate your degree to employers and others is by using the following formats:

Degree - This is the academic degree you are receiving. Your major is in addition to the degree; it can be added to the phrase or written separately.  Include the full name of your degree, major(s), minor(s), emphases, and certificates on your resume.

Double Majors - You will not be receiving two bachelor's degrees if you double major. Your primary major determines the degree (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science). If you're not fully sure which of your majors is primary, check CheckMarq or call the registrar's office.

Example: Primary Major: Psychology ; Secondary Major: Marketing
  • Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology & Marketing

Primary Major: Marketing ; Secondary Major: Psychology

  • Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing & Psychology

In a letter, you may shorten your degree by writing it this way:

  • In May 20XX, I will graduate with my Bachelor's degree in International Affairs.
  • In December 20XX, I will graduate with my Master's degree in Counseling Education.

Not sure which degree you are graduating with? Here is a list of Undergraduate Majors and corresponding degrees:

  • College of Business Administration
  • College of Communication

A Michigan man and his dog are rescued from an inland lake's icy waters

Authorities say a Michigan man and his dog have been rescued from the icy waters of an inland lake in the state's Upper Peninsula

MICHIGAMME TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A Michigan man and his dog were rescued from the icy waters of an inland lake in the state's Upper Peninsula, authorities said. Three first responders needed medical treatment.

Thad Cooper, 56, of Michigamme Township, was searching for his dog Friday afternoon when he saw its head poking above the ice more than 100 yards (meters) from shore on Lake Michigamme, the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office said.

Cooper kayaked onto the lake to try to rescue the dog but fell in himself and could not get out, the office said.

A sheriff’s dive team reached Cooper with a flotation board and pulled him to shore. The dog then was also rescued, the office said. Cooper and his dog spent about an hour and a half in the water.

Two first responders were taken to a hospital and treated for hypothermia, and another responder sought treatment for a cut after falling through the ice, the office said.

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?

dog names essay

It almost time! Millions of Americans across the country Monday are preparing to witness the once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse as it passes over portions of Mexico, the United States and Canada.

It's a sight to behold and people have now long been eagerly awaiting what will be their only chance until 2044 to witness totality, whereby the moon will completely block the sun's disc, ushering in uncharacteristic darkness.

That being said, many are curious on what makes the solar eclipse special and how is it different from a lunar eclipse.

The total solar eclipse is today: Get the latest forecast and everything you need to know

What is an eclipse?

An eclipse occurs when any celestial object like a moon or a planet passes between two other bodies, obscuring the view of objects like the sun, according to NASA .

What is a solar eclipse?

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes in between the Earth and the sun, blocking its light from reaching our planet, leading to a period of darkness lasting several minutes. The resulting "totality," whereby observers can see the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, known as the corona, presents a spectacular sight for viewers and confuses animals – causing nocturnal creatures to stir and bird and insects to fall silent.

Partial eclipses, when some part of the sun remains visible, are the most common, making total eclipses a rare sight.

What is a lunar eclipse?

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth. When this happens, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally reaches the moon. Instead of that sunlight hitting the moon’s surface, Earth's shadow falls on it.

Lunar eclipses are often also referred to the "blood moon" because when the Earth's shadow covers the moon, it often produces a red color. The coloration happens because a bit of reddish sunlight still reaches the moon's surface, even though it's in Earth's shadow.

Difference between lunar eclipse and solar eclipse

The major difference between the two eclipses is in the positioning of the sun, the moon and the Earth and the longevity of the phenomenon, according to NASA.

A lunar eclipse can last for a few hours, while a solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes. Solar eclipses also rarely occur, while lunar eclipses are comparatively more frequent. While at least two partial lunar eclipses happen every year, total lunar eclipses are still rare, says NASA.

Another major difference between the two is that for lunar eclipses, no special glasses or gizmos are needed to view the spectacle and one can directly stare at the moon. However, for solar eclipses, it is pertinent to wear proper viewing glasses and take the necessary safety precautions because the powerful rays of the sun can burn and damage your retinas.
