Introduction
It is hard to imagine a happy family
without any pets. Pets can help to solve the problem of loneliness. As in our
world, little animals here are those fidgets. They do not give you a moment's
quiet, demanding love, care and attention.
For the English owning of pets - it's not
the kind of entertainment, but a way of life. If English house is his castle,
his dog is a true king. Pets often serve their owners as psychologists and
counselors. Empathic listening and responding to their owners through the
language of body and mind, they surround their special healing energy that
drives away the pain and suffering. This energy is amplified when the host
caresses your pet while talking to him.
Often, pet owners are accused of being too
fanatical in relation to their pets. Nowadays computers and internet change
real communicating with people. So people take different pets and try to solve
the problem of loneliness in such way. The other reason is the influence of
fashion.
The aim of our work is to examine the
problem of choice of pets. To achieve the aim it is necessary to solve the
following problems:
1.
to
find out the most popular pets in the UK;
2.
to
study popular breeds of dogs in England;
3.
to
learn how people relate to pets in England;
4.
to
research what character the owners of pets have;
5.
to
research what kinds of pets the students of our school have.
Chapter 1.Englishmen and
their pets
1.1 Dogs are the most
favourite pets in Britain
British
are convinced: the person who loves animals, can't be absolutely bad. They
adore any kinds of animals. Also they take them not in order other people to
make the favourites to protect the homes or other property, or to use them in
the scientific purposes, or it is simple for prestige. British take pets only
for the company.
In
the UK, the first popular pets are dogs. About 6 million British take dogs,
cats are the second, 5 million –take cats and on the third place are hamsters,
on the fourth place in the list are fishes , there are about 25,000 species,
on the 5th place are white mice, and then guinea pigs, birds, snakes, iguanas.
The widespread nicknames of dogs are
Rover, Rax, Cindy, Misty; the cat's names are Albert, Snowy, Fluffy, Tom; the parrots'
names are Polly, Chatterbox; Guy, Scamper.
British made even perfumes for dogs (at
the price of 78,6 dollars for 50 milliliters). New perfumes have chances to
become necessary attribute of stylish four-footed. The London brand of dog and
cat's fashion Mungo& Maud presented dogs aroma Petite Amande which,
according to developers, is the first toilet water only for dogs.
Also the official history of cynology
began in England. The first exhibition of dogs was held in England on 28 June,
1859 in Newcastle. In 1873 English Kennel Klab was formed and the rules of
holding exhibitions were written. Standards which with minor changes reached up
to now a day were created.

Yorkshire
terrier — the decorative breed of dog removed in England, the county Yorkshire
at the end of the XIX century. The history of breed is still very short. The
Manchester terrier, a Skye Terrier, a malteza, etc. were ancestors of these
terriers. Now a Yorkshire terrier — one of the most popular room and decorative
breeds of dog. Yorkshire terriers possess rather good health. The average
duration of their life makes 12 — 15 years.
English
bulldog — a short-haired breed of dog of the 2nd MKF group, subgroup of moloss
and mastiffs. As use the standard refers breed to dogs bodyguards and partners.
Bulldogs appeared in England and were used as etching dogs in "bloody
sport"; mainly, in a bul-beyting — persecution of bulls. Actually, from
here also there was a name of breed — a bulldog. There is also an international
game which is called «British Bulldog».
In
the territory of the Kingdom four breeds of dog are forbidden:
1.
American
pit bullterrier.
2.
Phil
Brazilero.
3.
TosaInu
4.
Argentina
mastiff.
All
animals of these breeds and closely related metises by rules are subject to an
immediate lulling to slip. Fortunately, the option of preservation of life of
an animal of these breeds on condition of obligatory sterilization of a dog if
it is proved became possible recently that it doesn't pose threat for people
around.
Dogs
of all other breeds in England are loved. On streets of the cities it is
possible to meet Labradors, Staffordshire bull terriers, German shepherds,
various spaniels and borzays.
1.3
Rescue homes for homeless animals
Boundless
love of animals is confirmed by the fact that even in 1824 the UK has
established the Society for the Protection of Animals so it is not surprising
that you will not find on the streets of London homeless dogs or cats. If
suddenly the animal unattended and found (and this happens quite quickly) - it
immediately placed in a special rescue homes. One of this is Battersea Dogs&CatsHome.
Great
Britain Society of protection of animals against cruelty has the status Royal.
Thus it should be noted that society on protection of children appeared only 60
years later. Animals often replace children to childless couples. The last
statistics claims that 40% of women in England at the age of 40 years which got
university education have no children. Therefore no wonder that you won't meet
stray dogs or cats on streets of London. If suddenly the home animal is also
found (and it happens quickly enough) – it immediately places in a special
shelter. "To adopt" an animal from a shelter almost difficult, as
well as the child: it is necessary to undergo a number of testing and
procedures. One of such shelters is called Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
Shelter
of "Mayhew" (Mayhew) in London – one of the oldest shelters in
England. It first was opened in 1886. (And in Russia only 25 years earlier
cancelled a serfdom …) the Shelter is for 30 dogs and 100 cats and it is
considered small to English measures. Shelter represents the one-store building
with a small front court yard for cats. Dogs are walked behind the territory of
a shelter as they have no platform. Each dog lives in the single room. And it
isn't simple the room, and the whole room in which even there is a TV for comfort.
Each room is equipped with a shower for cleaning and washing dogs. Rooms are
soundproofed that animals had no stress of neiboughood of dogs. Dogs are walked
from 2 to 4 times a day. Nearly a half of dogs – staffers or pits (the similar
tendency is observed and at us because get these breeds (in fact, being the
victims of unethical selection of the person) it is frequent not professionals
of cynology, but people, irresponsible, but inclined to demonstration of the
importance, for which a dog often – not the living being and the partner, and
the part of furniture chosen to match wall-paper, a craze or means for shocking
and intimidation of people around of Cats Home.
1.4
The Queen's dog
The dog of the queen of Great Britain: A
Welsh Corgi do you know such dog? No, you don't famous for certain. This breed
became known thanks to the English queen. She lives in the yard in Great
Britain,it is the favorite of the queen. It is very live and vigorous breed. It
has a lot of force and it isfast in run. The queen fell in love with breed of a
Welsh Corgi, and now it can’t staywithout favorite for a minute. The first dog
of breed of a Welsh Corgi was brought as a gift in 1993, and then their number
at court increased many times. They brought much positive in the royal family.
Breed possessesan unique character, these dogs are kind and become attached to
people. After all not without reason the queen so loved these dogs that could
live without them anymore.
Two decades the dogs of breed of a Welsh
Corgi fill in the Royal Court. Not only the queen loves these dogs, they are beloved
by the members of all royal family. It became possible to tell these dogs are
mascot of the Royal Court. After all the queen's favorites become practically
at once favorites of all country. The people love the queen, as well as they
loves everything that the queen of Great Britain loves. That is a tradition.
Chapter
2. Researching "People's character and their pets"
2.1
How people choose their pets
Experts
are sure that people choose pets similar to themselves. Therefore knowing, what
pet lives in the house at this or that acquaintance, you can unmistakably
define his character and habits. Fans of birds are very sociable and mobile.
They like to surround themselves with bright paints, for example, can choose
unexpected wall-paper or a bright upholstery of furniture. Also such people
adore various jewelry – ear rings, bracelets, a beads, etc. Besides, they like
to surprise surrounding with extravagant hobbies.
Owners
of reptiles – extraordinary, extravagant and friendly people. They love
everything that allocates them from crowd, for example, design clothes and
exotic food, and also are fond of history and geography.
Fans
of rodents don't love loneliness. However, in their life communication and
loneliness, active and passive recreation, the noisy companies and silent
family pastime are equally balanced. They differ in pragmatism and thriftiness.
These are very quiet and balanced people.
Owners
of small fishes appreciate purity and a cosines, however, don't like to make
many efforts for their maintenance. Hobby of such people is decoration of the
house and a desktop.
Fans
of cats – independent, capricious and a little selfish people. They appreciate
heat and a cosiness in the house. Such people aren't too sociable, but are very
inquisitive, creative and artistic.
Owners
of dogs have a large number of friends, and also are inclined to communication
and easily meet with people. On character such people, as well as their pet
very devoted and patient.
Do
you like to go after uneasy day to the world of tranquility and silence?
It
is best of all for you to get animals who practically don't contact to people.
Therefore various insects, snakes and aquarian small fishes will be the best
pets for you.
You
try to operate other people and you dream to look more significant person, than
actually you are. Because of it you well will suit a big representative dog
whom it is possible not only to bring up and train, but also is proud to show
her to surrounding people.
You
are a little closed person who constantly controls himself, and the most
important – considers that nobody has to get into your personal records. To
such people as you, are best of all to get a cat, after all she, lying on
your laps, for hours can lie and listen to all your problems. And as these
animals aren't persuasive at all, they don't distract the owners from important
issues and the thoughts.
We
determine character of the person by breed of his dog.
Once
very long time ago the dog was tamed by the person. After that eventually also
appearance of this remarkable animal began to change. And at the moment any fan
of dogs can take to himself to the house of such doggie which is pleasant to
it, without reflecting even sometimes that on breed of a dog it is possible to
judge her owner with confidence …
And
therefore – if your favourite is the Labrador, the boxer or a dalmatian, so you
are surprisingly friendly. Employees at work cannot be afraid of intrigues or gossips
of you. You don't focus attention on passing problems, and you don't build of
them tragedies. In the personal relations you don't strive for a certain
refinement, but you don't betray and you don't change.
If
you are an owner of a Dobermann terrier, black terrier or riesenschnauzer, most
likely, appearance at you not too bright, but self-respect – at height! You
with some mistrust perceive new acquaintances, but in the relations with native
and friends you are distinguished by rare kindness and patience. You are
forgiving, but you possess good memory. The lucky who became your friends enjoy
your hospitality, the highest level.
The
owner of a bullmastiff, St. Bernard, the Newfoundland dog, as a rule, - is
thickset, slow, but isn't lazy at all. He likes to work, and never leaves begun
halfway.
If
the person adores dachshunds, Scottish Terriers, fox terriers – means, he is
funny and charming. But sometimes can touch surrounding with the causticity or
irony. To offend such person not so simply, he is a fighter for the truth and
for interests of those who can't stand itself for himself. He is stubborn, and
often holds the ground to the last. Sets many purposes, and if not everything
turns out, it is afflicted.
Setters
are preferred by sports accurate people, with sure gait. Similar to their
favourites, such people are active, they are adherents of a healthy lifestyle
and pastime outdoors. They love an extreme, courageous and dexterous. And
always try to apply these qualities. Despite it, they are quite reasonable. And
still they are distinguished by an optimistic view by life.
If
you love the Afghan borzois and hounds, you – prefer comfort, a little bit the
arrogant man, you have a high self-assessment. You are quick-tempered,
freedom-loving, but at the same time not really you like to show the feelings.
However you are strong inside, and you can splash out suddenly all this outside
(it not terribly if to aim your potential in the necessary party). You risk to
get complexes if your aspiration to find yourself isn't realized.
Owners of English,
French bulldogs and pugs –are people refined. These are intellectuals, as a
rule, happy with life and liking to be the center of attention. Are quiet.
Possessing jealous and mistrustful temper, are able not to show it. Are
externally solid, but in soul – mischievous persons and rascals (the truth,
only close and good friends know about it).
If you are a fan of
Yorkshire terriers, toy terriers, pinschers, Chinese crested dogs, most likely,
you – nature romantic and impressionable. Nobody is capable to be offended, and
touching movies cause in you tears … The indispensable condition of existence
for you is a cosiness and comfort. You are able to listen and therefore to you
all run with the problems and burdens. You care of the appearance. Some think
that you don't have enough will power though in practice you are able to set
specific goals and surely to go to them.
If in your apartment
there live very nice Pekineses, poodles or lap dogs – for certain, you stylish,
with dazzling appearance the little man who wishes that people around paid to
him attention. But such attention is not end in itself because you are sure of
the irresistibility, and the rest is unimportant. You are easily trained also
you like to teach people.
