Tango, An Island Dog


My book is about a dog (that was) named tango

He was born like most pure breeds....his mother is put in cell and forced to give birth or she will be sent to a pound (Pound: noun The stupidest idea ever thought up by a animal abuser). She eventually learnt to stop naming her little puppies...but eventually she has a new litter and its not taken away by the owner for 3 weeks! As she names each puppy the main character waits for his...hoping its manly (:P) Before he can he is taken away by the owner and shipped off to new york at a pet store...and adopted by some rich people.

They name him tango and he does not appreciate it at all (Not manly enough...) but grows to love his owner! The owner eventually buys a ship for her husband and off to see they go!

BOOM!

CRASH!

*RAINS SOUNDS*

SPLASH!

And tango is in a coma in a fishing net!

He is somewhat adopted and is taken care of...but the owner hopes his family (who may be dead) will pick him up....so she doesn't name him! (she calls him pup)

There is More to it but that is the most part of what i read so here are some opinions


  • I find the most powerful character in this story is his new owner. She saved him in that fishing net so he did not drown and if she gives up on him he probably will die!

  • The author expresses the main character in first person (changing roles depending on the chapter, tango one...then the new owner the next) and he is really depressed. He is in a lot of pain (thanks to human culture: I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANIMALS I JUST LIKE TO EAT THEM! THEY DON'T HAVE FEELINGS!) (Execpton: Religions like Hindu and Shinto) so he wants to die and have it quick and painless (that's the way you wanna go) but he can't and he just wants his old life back!

  • The character also doesn't have many choices and it appears that we control his fate because we give him no power...we have the choice if we want help him or kill him (its our fault he was caught in a fishing net, and stolen from his mother)



MY POINT IS THAT WE SHOULD TREAT ANIMALS LIKE OURSELVES, GIVE THEM A CHOICE, AND BE NICE


(EVEN IF HUMANS DON'T PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS)

I don't like the pound because if the animal isn't adopted in 1 month...he/she doesn't get a chance...they are killed a slow painful death of poison shots, tainted food, or poison gas!

If you remember this post and somehow are part of the U.S. congress please try to pass animal capturing and death as ILLEGAL and make the punishment lifetime fo jail

(as with all abuse cases...did u know that michael vick is out fo jail and not even half on parol? HE SHOULD BE IN THERE FOREVER!)

that is all

this is no joke

BYEZ!
