A dog's life My name is Lucky. I am two years old. I am a 30-kg yellow dog. I am very friendly but some people are afraid of me. They think I am too big. My owner is my best friend. He takes me for a walk three times a day. He takes me to the park at the weekend and he takes me to the beach in summer. He does not like rainy days because I will get very wet and he will have to give me a shower. I like taking showers because I like chasing the towel when he dries me after a shower. I never fight or bite but I bark when someone touches my food. I can play many tricks but only when people give me biscuits. A cat's life My name is Dolly. I live next to Lucky. I am three years old. I am a 4-kg white cat. I love jumping onto the sofa or the window-ledge. I love watching people from my windows. I can see Lucky in the streets every day. I do not like going out because it is very dirty outside. I miaow when my bowl is empty. If you cannot find me, look into the cupboard or a cardboard box. I like sleeping in them. A goldfish's life My name is Yellow Tail. I live in a tank with five friends. I do not do much. I only swim, eat and sleep. My owners do not play with me. They only watch me. I like swimming in front of them. I do not like to be fish. I want to be Lucky. His owner takes him everywhere. I want to be Dolly, too. Her owners let her sit on their laps every evening.

Imagine taking a lovely puppy into your family. You love and train it through its first year, knowing
that at the end of the year, you'll have to give it up. That's just what puppy raisers do. Puppy raisers raise
guide dogs for blind and very weak people.
When a potential guide dog puppy is about eight weeks old, it goes to live with a family, sleeping inside
the house as a member of the family. It's fine if the family has lots of children or other pets, since a guide
dog needs to learn how to behave no matter who or what else is around.
The puppy raiser's duty is not to turn the puppy into a guide dog, but to make the dog a well-behaved
family member. That means someone must spend special time with the puppy, playing with it and training it.
Guide dogs take blind people into a complex world. There are many interesting things that could keep
the dog from working. The puppy raiser helps the puppy become socialized, or well-behaved in groups, by
giving it the chances to experience lots of new environments and praising it when it stays quiet. Visits to the
park, shopping centre, and bus stop are all very helpful field trips for the puppy. Since guide dogs may have
to travel in cars, buses, planes and boats, puppy raisers try to give their puppies useful experiences of this
nature too. Many puppy raisers even take their puppies to work with them.
Although the puppy raiser is not responsible for training the puppy to be a guide dog, the puppy can
be taught orders which can be easily understood. Everyday training classes teach the dog such easy orders
as "Sit," "Down," and "Stay." The one order the puppy is not taught is "Heel," because a guide dog stands in
front of the trainer, not at the trainer's side.
Dogs love to eat, but it is important for future guide dogs to learn to eat only from their own bowls.
They can be easily attracted by smells of food and something they can see while they are working, so there
can be no asking for food at the table and no things from strangers.
When the dog is between a year and eighteen months old, the puppy raiser's job is over. The dog is
now ready to do its real work. The family members have given their time and care to the dog. When their
work is done, they always feel sad to give up the dog they have loved so much.
They can do it only because they know someone else needs the dog more than they do.
