This is Hazel, my puppy. She has been a great friend during this difficult time when we have all had to stay at home. Dogs - and animals in general - can really help people through difficult times. How do you feel about animals? Do you have a favorite pet? Is there an animal in your house that's helping you right now? If not, is there something not human in your environment that provides comfort and companionship to you?

About Me
- TGriffin
- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.
During this quarantine period my dog has been a great help to all of my family cause it helps us by distracting ourselves by making us laugh I have a husky so that means she barks a lot and that make us feel like she’s part dog and part humane. I think a dog is a humane best friend because of their loyalty.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have pet in my house. But I think pets can help people in many way. For example, we are in quarantine. So most of people are staying whole day in house. It is boring staying home for whole day, but if we have pet in house, they can make people fun. So I want dog in my house but my mom is not a person who like to have pets in house. I think pets help people a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think so far my phone and iPad are good company for me. I don’t have pet so it is impossible for me to play with them. As you know, our dorm has been quarantined, so we can’t go out even the campus for 12 days. For me, that’s not hard, because I actually don’t wanna go out, being alone makes me feel more comfortable. When I stay in my room, I do my homework and sometimes read books. And I use my phone. I could watch movies, see some news and shopping online. Also, I talk to my parent frequently. Being quarantined is totally away from the outside, so my phone helps me connect to the world. I’ve watched about 15 movies during these days, every movie gave me a brand new feeling and mood, so I’m quite enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI don't like animals because I was bitten by a dog when I was five years old. But I think there are some animals that are helpful to humans.
ReplyDeleteI think pets are very good friends for human, especially in this hard time. We have been quarantined in our house for several weeks and not been allowed to go outside. If we have a dog or any other pets, they will help the family to get out of the gloomy mood and make us laugh. I don’t have a pet but I really want to have one. I really love cats because they are so beautiful and cute.
ReplyDeleteI have a dog and a ocelot ,I always have said that the dog is the human best friend ,now that i’m in quarantine and I can’t go anywhere helps a lot in the house I play with him and my mood change and when I take it out ,some people say that your mascot can help you if your sad and make you happy.
ReplyDeleteI have one dog and birds, my dog is one of the best things that had happened to me. When I don't what to do or I'm bored I play with him. Since I was a child I like animals and I grew up with a lot of different pets but my favorite is the birds because of their exotic colors

I don’t have any pets now, but I very like to have a dog. I think dog will provide comfort and companionship to me. Because when we are unhappy, the dog lets us happy and the dog usually helps us do something!
ReplyDeleteI don’t have any type of pet during this quarantine but I would love to have a dog, so I can get distracted easily. Right now I only have my family, Netflix and my phone. That’s how I am going to move forward on this quarantine
ReplyDeleteI don't have any pets now. But I hope I can have a lovely cat in the futures. I like cats very much and it will make me relaxed when I stay with lovely animals. Also, if I have a lovely pet, I believe my house will full of laughter and happiness.
ReplyDeleteI think pets are good friends for human. I don’t want have any pets. Because they always died earlier than me. Now, there are no pets in my area. Luckily, I have my phone and iPad. I watch movies on iPad every day. I'm still shopping online, buying shoes, buying clothes, I feel very happy. I don’t think this was a pain, I felt very comfortable because I don’t have to get up early.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have an animal to make me feel better in this time but I think that makes me feel better in this quarantine time is my screen like my phone , iPod , laptop like that I am literally spending more than 12 hours on screen because I have to study,do my homework’s,be in class and see some videos,movies,call to my parents and my friends,and so on that makes me to be on my screen so much time and I don’t feel the time and I am happy with it. I also know it is not good but I don't have anything else to spend with.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any pets now, but my dream is to have dogs and cats. They provide healing to our lives. Unfortunately my brother has allergies so I can't keep it. At this time, I feel depressed because I can't go out, but I'm healed by watching cute videos of animals on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteI have a dog at my home now. My dog always welcoming me when I come back home. I enjoy taking a walk to the park with my dog and my dog likes it too. Also, during self quarantine period, she became a good friend of me. So, because of these reasons, I think pet and animal can be a good friend.
ReplyDeleteI have a dog in my house. I think pets can help people. For example now I’m not in quarantaine but I spend almost every time in my house. When I’m in my house every times I feels boring, but my dog come close to me and be a good friend. So my dog give me a fun. This is the reason I think pets can help people.
ReplyDeleteWe have a puppy named Tilly. We can't go out often these days because of the virus, but this dog makes my family laugh a lot and get happiness. In fact, many people can treat depression when they have pets. Pets conveying laughter and happiness to people seem to be really good friends to people.
ReplyDeleteI have a pet in my house. During this quarantine my puppy is my best friend. my dog helps us entertain us, it makes us laugh. for this reason alone time is not so slow in quarantine.
ReplyDeleteSome animals are indeed good friends of humans, such as dogs and cats. They can help you and make your daily life not boring. I have never had a pet, so I have never experienced this feeling
ReplyDeletefrom Yan:
ReplyDeleteI think animals are good friends for humans. I like cats and dogs, and I now have an Alaskan terrier in my family. When I returned to China on Christmas Day 2019, I saw it for the first time. It is very large, the fur is very soft, and the character is particularly lively, I like it very much.
I like animals and dogs too actually i don have any pets but I think dogs can read human moods and they try to be helpful when they can. During this quarantine pets are really important because they are like another person in the house especially for people who live alone. For some people during this period dogs are also an excuse to take a walk outside and breath some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteI think the animals are really good for humans agaist tough times. I have two dogs and they are helping me everyday against though decisions and times like right now. The pets are good for difficult time cause they can read your emotions and feelings. I like really much pets because they’re keeping me safe always when i need it. My favorite animal is dog. At home i got two dogs who are surrounding me all the time.
ReplyDeleteI am actually allergic to dog hair, so I can touch it, but it's not easy. It's very cute and good to see a puppy or cat, but it's a shame I can't raise it. I envy my friends when I see them, and I think that raising pets is a closer friend than people. I think that although I can't raise pets because of allergies, it's a great thing for people and pets to have pets. Because a person can fill the loneliness from a person with a pet, and a friend is created, and a pet is a difficult environment to live alone, but if there is a owner, it can grow in a better environment.

ReplyDeletePets are very friendly and protect some dangerous specially like dog. I think my favorite is dog. They can help you a lot of if you train them. Also they are loyal and graves. But I don’t know why some people in my country and other countries eat the dog meats.
ReplyDeletefrom Isauro:
ReplyDeleteI think pets are essential for a human because they will always see you as their best thing in the world, and they will always be loyal to you. I just have one pet and is a dog and it has always been with me in the good and bad moments.
from Mariano:
ReplyDeleteI love pets but specially dogs. I have one Shiba Inu which is a breed that comes from Japan. His name is coby and has been a great companion for the family on this hard times. Dogs are loyal and caring, they will try to cheer you up if you are down that is why I love them.

ReplyDeleteI have a puppy in my house. Every time when I can't go out at home, he will always be with me and play with me, but now I am studying in the United States and there is no way to see my puppy. In the dormitory, books and mobile phones became the things that accompany me in the dormitory. Whenever I was in the room, I would go to read books or play games with my friends, but I would also take online lessons. At night, I I would write my homework, and it was very fulfilling every day, and it didn't make me very bored.
I have one dog in my house but also 3 more in my grandmother’s house I think pets specially dogs in my case has been one of the best things this in my quarantine the give us a lot of love an a lot of fun
