My Dogs-A Documentary by Brittany Petersen

I chose to create a documentary project about my dogs, as well as my sister's dog, because they mean so much to me.  My dogs' names are Andy and Angel and my sister's dog's name is Skylar.  Dogs play such an important role in human life and they are such great companions.  At times, dogs can be a human's best friend.  They almost get the same kind of attention a human would give a baby if they really love their dog that much.  My sister and her fiance are just starting out as a couple out on their own and will be getting married in a couple years. They treat this dog as if she is a child to them.  I think it is so cute.  Sometimes I wish dogs could talk so that we could really hear what they think when we're talking to them or picking them up or playing with them.  

Dogs are apart of the family. You feed them, bathe them, play with them, enjoy their company, sometimes even take naps together.  There are dogs all over the world and they all have something unique about them which makes them important to the family that owns them, if they have an owner.  There are small dogs, big dogs, and medium dogs.  Usually the type and size of the dog are extremely similar to a person's personality.  

My Dogs:

Andy is a 7 year old Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier mix.  My family got him from Noah's Ark Rescue Group.  We're not entirely sure what kind of background he had before we got him but we always make sure to give him an environment in which he is loved to death.  He let's me carry him around and enjoys the attention I always give him.  My boyfriend and I play with him all the time and he does this thing we call the "army crawl".  The "army crawl" is when we get him to drag his back two feet and his stomach on the ground.  It always comes with a good laugh.  He is a very fun dog to be around and I love him so much.  I probably treat this dog as my baby sometimes.  It might be a little sad but I don't care.  He's always around and such a fun dog to have.  He may be kinda mean at times when he growls and doesn't want to be touched.  But who could blame him?  He sleeps all the time and when someone tries to pick him up he's mad at first because he was just sleeping.  It's totally understandable.

Angel is a 15 year old Jack Russell and Rat Terrier mix.  She has been in my family since I was 7 years old.  She was such a fun puppy when she was younger but unfortunately she is getting older and more fragile.  Currently, she is fully blind in one eye and partially blind in another.  She is also partially deaf. She has been in our family for so long, we don't want to lose her.  She is so cute though and really enjoys all the attention she can get.  She is a little bit harder to take care of now that she's older and fragile, but we still enjoy her company.  I will be completely heart broken when she passes.  She will always be my first pet.  The sad part about her is that because she is blind she runs into walls or chairs and it just breaks my heart every time I hear that.

Skylar is a 2 year old Red Nose Pitbull Terrier. She is my sister and her fiance's dog.  They rescued her from a person who would keep her locked in a bedroom all day by herself and would barely feed her or play with her.  As a puppy, it is so crucial that the puppy get accustomed to a good home and living and it was perfect timing that my sister and her fiance were able to find her when they did.  Now Skylar lives with them in their apartment and she receives nothing but love.  She loves to play with people and with her toys.  She is such a playful and loving dog.  My sister and her fiance love this dog so much and they have so much fun with her.  I think they do a great job in taking care of her and they did an excellent job in rescuing her from the home she came from.
