IT is still true that the dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reasons why people keep dogs have changed. In the old days, people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other bests, and later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection, but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs wouldn't eat what was caught without permission. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks from animals. Why do they keep dogs? Then some people keep dogs to protect them from robbery or just to annoy their neighbors. But the most important reason is for a companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friend to play with. For a Young, a dog is their child when they have no child. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to companionship.

four years of full time study with the master's taking
one to two years,and the doctor's three to four years.
The associate degree may be substituted for the first two
years of a bachelor's degree if it is a transfer degree.Not
all associate degrees are designed for transfer.Some
are technical degrees called terminal degrees which
means they do not count toward a bachelor's.The
bachelor's is normally required before one can work at
the master's level.Likewise,the master's is normally
required before one can work at the doctor's level.
The length in credit hours of university degree
programs varies from one school to another.In general,
the A.A.is 60 semester hours or 95 quarter hours.
49The B.A.(or B.S.)is 120 semester hours or 185
quarter hours.The M.A.is 30 semester hours or 45
quarter hours,and the Ph.D is 60 to 72 semester hours
or 95 to 120 quarter hours.

Why do they keep dogs then?Some people keep
dogs to protect them from robbery or just to annoy their
neighbors.But the most important reason is for
companionship.For a child,a dog is his best friend
when he has no friend to play with.For a young
couple,a dog is their child when they have no
child.For old couples,a dog is also their child when
their real children have grown up.3 So the main
reason why people keep dogs has changed from
protection to companionship.
