Canines to the Rescue With a partner, discuss the questions and then answer them on your own. 1. Infer: Notice that the author uses the pronoun I. That means he is writing in the first person, sharing his own experiences and opinions. He tells us that the dog Tara has an important and dangerous job. What does this detail tell you about the writer’s attitude toward dogs?
2. Compare and Contrast: Work ethic refers to the belief that it is important to work hard. The writer says that dogs are eager to work hard. He then contrasts dogs’ attitude toward work with the attitude of other animals. What does this contrast tell you about the writer’s perspective on dogs?
3. Infer: What ruble is the writer referring to? (If you aren’t sure, look back at the first paragraph). Look carefully at the word choices in this paragraph. Which words offer clues to the writer’s view of dogs?
4. Analyze: Why do you think the write includes a quotation from a veterinarian? Remember that the information a writer chooses to include may offer a clue to his or her perspective.
5. Analyze: Why do you think the writer included so much information about Servus? (Did you notice that the name sounds like service?)
6. Word Choice: You might have seen the word symbiosis in your science class. Sym- is a porefix that means “together” and –bio- means “life”; the word means “association of members of two species for the benefit of both.” In this case the species are human and dogs. Why do you think the writer uses a scientific term here?
7. Compare and Contrast: In this paragraph the writer mentions a legend that explains how the dog became a good friend to humans. He then quotes a nature writer with a very different point of view. What surprising words does Stephen Budiansky use to describe dogs?
8. Word Choice: Cynic is a harsh word that means “someone who believes that people act only out of self-interest.” What does this word choice tell you about the writer’s opinion of the people he is describing? Look at the third sentence in this paragraph. Who does “himself” refer to? Where is the crane? (Remember the setting in the first paragraph.)
9. Analyze: Re-read the last two paragraphs of the article. What do they tell you about the author’s overall perspective on dogs?
10. Perspective Wheel: Draw and complete the perspective wheel from the practice section on page 355.
