Abstract
The following paper asserts that both Shaw and Winterson assigned different attributes to their female leading characters in the novels 'Pygmalion? and ?Sexing the Cherry?. However, this paper contends that the purpose of creating such figures, such as Eliza and the Dog woman, is identical in both cases.
From the Paper
"The two books Pygmalion and Sexing the Cherry are starkly different in their storyline and narrative techniques, yet the only connecting link is the dominance of female characters in both stories. For example in the Pygmalion, it is Eliza Dolittle who is the most important female character while Dog Woman plays the leading role in 'Sexing the Cherry?. We notice that these two women have been presented in a contrasting light, as one happens to be a self-conscious young woman who is beautiful and sophisticated while the other is an ugly-looking person and has been repeatedly described as a monstrous creature. This is because Dog Woman who happens to have no other name in the book is grotesque character with nothing lady-like about her. Her mannerisms, her language, her dialect and her tone are all rather crude and the woman is an epitome of unsophisticated characteristics."

Women and Eccentricity, 2002.

Abstract
The paper shows how Eliza Doolittle and the Dog-woman project almost opposite images of British womanhood. The author discusses how Eliza has been turned out by her father into the slums of London and how she longs to live in comfort and security - she thinks her dreams can come true if she can speak proper English. The author shows that the Dog-woman, on the other hand, unlike the Cockney flower girl, is practically a misfit, but not quite -she wears her size and oddness as though they were inevitable.
From the Paper
"Shaw?s depiction of Eliza is based more on Victorian England?s class society and his main theme is challenging the proverb ?You can?t make a silk purse out of a sow?s ear.? Women were to be seen and not heard, hardly intellectual companions, and primarily chosen as wives for business, family or property reasons, and very well bred to attract a lord or an earl. Higgins clearly views Eliza as less than he, not only because she is a woman, but because she is poor and uncivilized in her speech and manner. Winterson?s viewpoint is that women like Dog-Woman know how to survive and take care of themselves, are ingenuous and make the most of what they?ve been given, and with a flair, as opposed to the Twelve Dancing Princesses, whose fairytail marriages all end in disaster."

Hot Dog! a History
This is a research paper written about the history and reputation of the hot dog. It discusses the origin of the hot dog, origin of the word hot dog, and discusses various aspects and impacts of the hot dog's existence in today's American culture.
From the Paper
"Although hot dogs originated in Germany, hot dogs are still as American as apple pie. Hot dogs are one of the oldest forms of processed food, having been mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as far back as the 9th Century B.C. (Jackson) At first glance one might think that the Hot Dog has a rather dry history. Upon prying into the archives and prying into the taste buds of the masses, I discovered the hot dogs meaty and controversial history and prominent present gives people plenty to say about the 500 year old dog."

The African Hunting Dog, 2006.
An overview of the characteristics of the Cape hunting dog, also known as the African hunting dog.
2,640 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 79.95

Abstract
The hunting strategies of the African wild dog were behavior once shrouded in inaccurate myth. The dogs were formerly considered among the roughest and meanest species on the African savanna and bushland. The paper shows that they were noted for driving out all other species in their regions, for mutilating their victims beyond recognition, as well as for consuming their own kind who had fallen prey to illness or exhaustion. The paper shows, however, that researchers have recently taken a closer look at the animals' morphological, physiological and adaptive characteristics, their methods of locating prey, as well as their prey-capture techniques and food allocation practices. New studies have presented a wildly different version of the African wild dog.
From the Paper
"According to recent research, the prime habitat for wild dogs is not the open, grassy plains but rather the woodland-savanna areas which support larger populations of prey due to the interspersion of seasonally-flooded grasslands in these areas. The animals' diet consists largely of impala (80-85%), with the remaining percentage distributed among red lechwe, reedbuck, steenbok (antelope types), and the juveniles of kudu, buffalo, tsessebe, zebra and wildebeest. Most of these animals are nearly ten times the weight of the average hunting dog. They are also common in the regions where wild dogs exist, so that locating their prey is not often difficult."

Eliza Haywood and ?The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless?, 2002.
A study of the claims that eighteenth century author, Eliza Haywood, wrote her novel "The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless" as a means of promoting social reforms.

Abstract
The paper describes the life of Eliza Haywood, an eighteenth century English author whose literary works were considered scandalous for the times she lived in in. The paper examines Haywood's novel, "The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless". It shows that modern scholarship elevates this novel as Haywood?s most successful and most influential work. The paper examines how Eliza Haywood so successfully managed to meet her contemporaries in using the new genre of the novel to elicit reform, especially the reforms of women's educational standards and the position of women in marriage and family life.
From the Paper
"There is no shame to be found in the propriety with which Haywood?s evolution as an author took her, as those were the true restrictions experienced by women of her class and of her time. The early challenges and the heated controversy that were elicited by her early works may have left her in a historical position of obscurity but they prove she was making an attempt to alter a system that left female authors unrecognized outside of infamy. Looking back at her works and the biographical information available for her leaves a modern literary historian happily intrigued by her narrative and her life and there is nothing like a mystery to engage modern thought on historical evolution in literature or life."

Women in 18th and 19th Century American Literature, 2004.
This paper discusses two popular works of American literature illustrating the position of women during the 18th and 19th century, "The Hidden Hand" by E.D.E.N. Southworth (1888) and "The Coquette" by Hannah Foster (1797).

Abstract
This paper relates the way the main characters, Capitola Black, in "The Hidden Hand" by E.D.E.N. Southworth, and Eliza Wharton, in "The Coquette" by Hannah Foster, portray, in diverse ways,the progression of women in American society. The author points out that these literary works depict the struggles and victories of women as they fought their way towards progress and eventual liberation in the society. The paper states that, in Southworth's and Foster?s novels, the role of women progressed by adopting masculine characteristics while maintaining their femininity.
From the Paper
"Capitola Black, or Cap, in the novel The Hidden Hand is an example of a 19th century-woman who adopts a masculine personality in order to initiate progress in the society. This is a practical decision to make on her part, since she has been aware that opportunities, especially job offers, are limited for women and abundant for men. The development of Cap?s character in the novel is best embodies by a comparative analyses of the characters of Cap, Clara Day, and Mrs. Le Noir, which all embody the kinds of women existing during Southworth?s time. Cap, as mentioned earlier, is illustrated as a feisty woman, working her way up in the economic ladder by disguising herself as a young man: ?? And so because I was a girl there seemed to be nothing but starvation or beggary before me!... I felt bitter against Fate for not making me a boy? Yes, sir, and the only thing that made me feel sorry was to see what a fool I had been not to turn to a boy before, when it was so easy! And from that day forth I was happy and prosperous!? "

The Placement of Shelter Dogs, 2004.
This paper discusses the use of family systems theory, a systemic family paradigm, in matching shelter dogs to appropriate adopters.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, if shelters wish to decrease their rates of return, as well as doing everything possible to ensure that dogs are placed with loving, healthy families, they need to examine, as closely as possible, not only the surface-level attributes of the family, such as income level and home ownership, but also deeper issues, like habits and long-term goals. The author points out that dogs to be adopted must be healthy dogs and known not to be dangerous; on the other hand, families experiencing any level whatsoever of familial violence cannot be allowed to adopt a dog. The family system method of interviewing families to determine their suitability to adopt a dog includes questions in these categories: individual needs and behaviors, family connections, and changing family patterns.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Systemic Family Therapy
Shelter Policies and Procedures
Serious Human Considerations
A Possible Systemic Assessment Approach to the Adoption Process
Individual Needs and Behaviors
Family Connections
Changing Family Patterns
Conclusions
From the Paper
"What do these two seemingly abstract descriptions of systemic family therapy have to do with the adoption of dogs from a shelter? First and foremost, they have led to a wide variety of assessment approaches that therapists use to understand how families interact. For example, the therapist who can assess the overall contributions to the family that each member of power (meaning, usually, the adults) makes to the greater good, then s/he can understand to what extent these members will most probably interact with and care for a future dog member of the family. The therapist who can assess how many hours each person spends at home, or how many chores each person generally takes upon him or herself, or how much money each person is expected to earn in a given year -- and, more importantly, how each person feels about these and many other things (i.e. do they feel resentment or contentment) -- is a person who can provide a shelter with a wealth of vital information."

Abstract
This paper traces the relationship between man and dogs from pre-historic to modern times.

From the Paper
"Dogs also were valuable as sentries, and were important in transport, both for pack saddles in the Plains areas, and for dog-drawn sleds used by the Mandan in the north. The Plains Indians had a device called the "travois," Fiedel writes, which was made of two long poles attached at the dog's shoulders, "with the butt ends dragging behind the animal; midway, a ladder-like frame, or a hoop made of plaited thongs, was stretched between the poles, and could carry a load up to sixty pounds or more.

Dangerous Dogs, 2002.
Explores the myths about "dangerous dogs", focusing on pit bull terriers and aggressive behavior.

Abstract
With the increase of incidents involving pit bull attacks on people and other domestic pets, there is controversy regarding the predisposition of these dogs to aggression. Questions have arisen about whether they are genetically "aggressive" dogs or whether they are trained towards aggression by their owners. This essay confirms the increase in pit bull attacks, but in its analysis, indicates that this increase is reflective of an increase in social violence, not dog breeding. Pit bulls are representative of violence and, as such, are the dog-of-choice for violent people.

From the Paper
"The Canadian pet food industry is strong as evidenced by the fact that Canada was the 12th country in the world pet food exports in 2004 (Food and Agricultural Organization, 2006). The Canadian dog food market has recently witnessed the growth of unique pet foods. (Bennett, 2007). The overall analysis of the market shows two new major lines of products as well as the popularization of special foods. The two new lines of dog food products include the food sauces and oral hygiene chewing treats. The food sauces are designed to improve the taste of dry food and make the same food taste differently on daily basis. They are developed in such a manner to complement the nutrition value of the dry meal. The oral hygiene treats are aimed at improving dog's dental care. Even though they do not replace regular teeth brushing, they are a great and easy to apply supplement. This product is manufactured by major dog food companies (see further below) as well as the specialized ones, like Virbac in the USA. The development of special foods is likely connected to the raising awareness of food quality in humans (Roberts, 2006). As Tarnowski (2006) sums up this trend: "'Natural', 'functional' and 'healthy are three key factors driving pets food sales in America today - a direct result of the 'humanization trend" (pg. 72). This not only increased the quality of dog food as well but also led to the development of food specially designed for, for example, overweight dogs, dogs with reduced activity, and those with stomach problems."

Abstract
This paper explains that over 150 breeds of dogs and 300 breeds of cats are found in the United States and Canada. Many people love their pets even if they are not a pure-breed animal. In fact, many mixed dogs in American households are equal to the number found in Canada. Pets are, in most cases, our furry friends, but they are also often used in the lives of the owners to help them with different illnesses or work. The paper discusses the important role that dogs and cats play in the emotional and physical well being of their owners and how they are so highly valued in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"Ever have a dog or cat as a child? Remember all the love and affection the pet gave? Dogs and cats are special to many people. In fact, some people consider their pets as family members.

From the Paper
" Scientific tests in the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that dogs can detect cancers because of their intensely acute sense of smell. Dogs have proved extremely accurate at detecting cancerous tissues from among those mixed with normal tissues. The BBC news reported that researchers at Cambridge University in England had applied for funding to test the theory that dogs could be used to provide an early warning system for cancer, because of their highly developed sense of smell."

"A few more swims, a nap--and then it's time for dinner. Dinner on the beach is ice cream. I walk a little farther to a fancier area that makes sundaes. I get a scoop of chocolate peanut butter for myself on a waffle cone with about a quart of hot fudge, butterscotch in a cup for him (dogs aren't supposed to eat chocolate). As I'm digging around for the change in my shorts, the cell phone of the guy behind me suddenly goes off and for the first time I remember that I left mine at home. As I ask for my order, I realize that I've hardly spoken to anyone human all day. But the funny thing is--I don't feel lonely at all."
