Abstract
This paper describes an experiment conducted on a two-year old cocker spaniel to determine its food preferences. The paper reports that the study determined that dogs do exhibit food preferences, and in this case, have clearly shown a preference for beef hot dogs over chicken hot dogs. The paper describes the methodology and the details of the results. The paper points out that results of this study indicate that dog food not only should contain the needed vitamins and minerals but also should be gastronomically appealing to dogs so that pet owners will find little resistance when feeding them. The paper includes two tables.

From the Paper
"During the first day of the study, it was observed that the dog had initially tasted almost equal portions of both the beef and chicken hot dogs, showing no outward preference for one over the other. During the second day of the study, the dog now preferred the beef hot dogs over the chicken, consuming twice the portion of the beef hot dog (55 grams and 45 grams of beef hot dog over 17 grams and 27 grams of chicken hot dog) during both feeding sessions. At this point, the researchers' fear that the dog would show no outward preference for either kind of hotdog were put to rest."

Abstract
This creative writing story illustrates the healing power of pets. The author discusses how the death of her parents affected her friendship with her closest friend, and how adopting Lucky the puppy helped her cope with the loss of her parents.

From the Paper
"They'd been married thirty years, and never taken much time for themselves. After all, they'd always been so busy raising me and making ends meet. Now dad had retired, and they had plenty of time. Dad did a little consulting work, so they even had some extra money to spend on an exotic vacation. Last year they'd paid off the house I'd grown up in, so they'd decided to celebrate with a much put-off vacation.
"After collecting a huge pile of brochures and travel pamphlets, they'd picked a resort in Jamaica, just for older couples, and packed their bags. Those brochures made it look so fun and romantic!"

Abstract
This paper discusses universal consciousness versus individual consciousness in T. S. Eliot's poems "Four Quartets." He quotes whole stanzas from all of these poems. He discusses the limits imposed by language of human endeavors in "The Dry Salvages" discussing how the poet's life is always a part of a larger human consciousness, vis-a-vis God and suffering.

From the Paper
"If there is ambiguity to Eliot's poetic project of attempting to encapsulate the limits of human endeavors into the limited medium of human language, this is intensified even further in "The Dry Salvages." The third section of the poem is paradoxically devoted to water and spiritual dryness. The river is called "useful," and yet also "untrustworthy." Water is fluid, yet reflects the relentless spiritual monotony of human life"
