I am a 10 year old sheltie and I have been to three different homes before I found the perfect owner to take care of me. I was abused and neglected by my previous owners. I was rescued from an animal shelter because my owner didn’t want me anymore. I felt lonely, and felt like no one would ever want me. When I arrived at my new home I was aloof toward my owners and I would hide in the far corners of the living room. If we had animal rights then we wouldn’t be neglected or left without any food, water or love. Now onto the subject of the food we eat. I don’t know about other dogs, but my owner and I are going to have a serious problem if I find out that there are chicken by-products in my food. I will go on a hunger strike until I get the real meat, not chicken carcass and internal organs from the remains of an animal. All dogs should have the right to eat human food, such as Pizza, ham, chicken, turkey, and other delicious human foods that dogs are “not supposed to eat.” It is our right as living organism to be able to eat whatever the woof we want just as humans do. If we want to go to Burger King and have a Whopper with a small side of fries and diet coke, then we should have the right to do so. Dogs should have the right to walk into stores or restaurants with their owners, it’s not like we’re going to pee everywhere we walk and if we do then I am sure a store employee can clean it up because our owners do it for us. Besides we were trained as puppies to take care of our business outside, so there shouldn’t be any problems with us coming into stores and restaurants. Also why not let us ride in the carts at stores? We should be allowed to go for a ride in the carts when we get tired from walking in the store. It isn’t like we are going to contaminate the food or spread doggy germs on the carts. Doggies such as me shouldn’t be yelled at for chewing on our owners shoes because they train us by giving us chew toys. I think that the world should be our chew toy. If I decide to redecorate the house I should be allowed to scratch the furniture, tear down the curtains to bring some natural light into my home and be allowed to drag my muddy paw prints all over the kitchen floor because it is doggy art. Also we should have the right to chase squirrels and bunny rabbits. All we really ask of our owners is to take care of us, giving us things that we need like food or water, taking us for walks on a regular basis, taking us to the vet to make sure that we are alright, and maintaining our coats by taking us to get groomed. Many dogs like me have been abused, neglected, and less fortunate at finding a home that treats them the way that they should be treated. Luckily I was able to find a home that provided me with what was necessary and I don’t ask for much more. In all seriousness, all dogs should have animal rights just not to the extremes. We are not humans and don’t want to be treated like humans, we just want to be loved and taken care of by our owners.

Hi everyone! My name is Jess. I have many talents, my favorite is easy to guess. reading is fun, but writing is the hobby that's number one. expressing visions and sights to see and emotions, I've experienced that have lead me to be stronger and independent, wiser and free, more expressive than I used to be. I write about fears though I'm rarely scared. I write about fallen tears as I let out the sadness, my make up tends to smear I write about love, but don't we all? everyone dreams of that person we adore that never fails to strike us in awe. I write short stories that may exercise your imagination and poems that you can relate to through visualization. I even write plays that have a modern tone, but a touch of the olden days. for me it gives me the chance to share with each and every creative person, any where and every where.
