Animals: Working For a Living Kristin Pachella COM/156 September 22, 2012 Kelly Rottman Animals: Working For a Living There are many different types of animals that work for us. There are three types of service animals that help the disabled. Guide animals assist the blind, hearing animals signal the deaf, and there are many other animals that help persons with other disabilities. Another way that animals work for us is by providing emotional support to those with mental health issues. These animals are usually prescribed by a doctor and they are called emotional support animals. One last way that we can see an animal working is in the military. There are many military working dogs that serve to protect us just as a …show more content…
These animals are there to provide not only emotional support, but they also provide their humans with companionship. Jim was a lost individual that spent a lot of time isolating himself from people. Jim is a veteran and he was filled with anxiety after being deployed. Jim now has an emotional support dog named, Sarge. Sarge is there for Jim and she helps his anxiety level. When Jim is in a crowd of people, his anxiety level rises. But, with Sarge by his side, he is able to go out and do normal things. Jim was on a lot of medication and now with Sarge, he is off all the medication. Sarge really did a lot to help Jim and now Jim is working with an organization called Paws and Stripes. It is an organization that works to bring these emotional support dogs to our veterans that suffer from a mental or physical disability. It is amazing how just one dog can bring about such a change in a person. (Psychiatric Service Dog Society, 2012) Last but definitely not least, military working dogs are another way that we can see animals working for us. Late one night on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Cairo, a military working dog, braced for landing in one of two Black Hawk helicopters. Cairo, a Belgian Malinois, a breed known for acute intelligence, sat alert, supremely alert to the mood of the soldiers traveling with him. This was a different mission as the helicopters they
This has led to the belief that dogs can provide company, affection and support to people who are going through a difficult time or who feel lonely. Dogs have aided humans in tasks such as hunting, livestock herding, and guarding. However, as society moved from small rural communities to increasingly large metropolitan areas, the dog’s role changed. Throughout the years a more specific type of
The National Service Animal Registry defines an emotional support animal as, “ a person's pet that has been prescribed by a person's licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist,”they state that “The animal is part of the treatment program for this person and is designed to bring comfort and minimize the negative symptoms of the person's emotional/psychological disability,” (All About). Emotional support animals have a huge list of responsibilities they can take on and learn to help their owner. These animals require minimal training and their jobs are specifically tailored to what their owner needs to maintain their mental health. Still these animals have less rights than service animals. Still, they have laws protecting them and their owners. My brother and I each have our own emotional support animals that provide us with their multiple skills that help keep us mentally safe.
When I first took the test to see what I scored, I was surprised with many of my results.
In this activity we were given three separate tasks based on one theme. The first activity we were given was to form five questions that we could ask a specific person that we knew. The questions had to be based on a journey that a specific person has either been on or had been taken part in. Once we had formed these questions our second task we had to complete was to interview the specific person that you based your questions on. We had to ask the questions that we created to them and then we had to record their answers. Our third and final activity we had to complete was to turn the interview and answers that we were given into a story based on our subjects journey. We had to change the interview into a story which meant that we had to change the interview into past tense. We also had to put the interview together into sentences rather than questions and answers.

The two spells learned in class this week were the Softening Charm and the Verdimilius Charm. The Verdimillius Charm can be used in one of two situations. The first situation is that you are involved in a duel or any other kind of battle and you need some precious time to either pull out and try to escape or cast another, larger, more powerful and effective spell. In this case, you would bring your wand down in a downward sort of slashing movement, ending with your wand pointed directly at your opponent's body, and recite the incantation, which is Verdimillius. The second scenario would be if you are looking for a magical item in a room, hallway, or any other place that is not lit in a proper fashion, you would wave your wand above your head

For example in “Max” he was a work dog in the military. Very much like in real life German Shepherds who are trained and taught from an early age to be in the military.
