Dakota Exercising

                  Dakota loves to play sports and exercise. She loves to play every sport, but she has a sport that she loves more than any other. That sport is called soccer. I can tell she loves this sport more than any other, because when I play soccer Dakota gets all excited and tries to join in.
                 Dogs need exercise in there life so I figure it is good that Dakota loves soccer. ASPCA says that dogs are more athletic than us humans.  ASPCA also says that dogs love when there owner plays with them, and dogs get more energy when they play with someone. I related this to my previous blog post about how Dakota gets excited when she plays with Noah. Playing with someone else can be related to humans as well. Us humans love to exercise or play with another person rather than ourselves.
                   After realizing that dogs are like humans, because they would rather play with someone  than with themselves I asked myself another question which was why does Dakota love soccer more than any other sport? Jenna Stregowski says that almost every dog has a exercise that dogs love more than any other. For Dakota I think this exercise is Soccer. My hypothesis for why Dakota loves this exercise the most, is that since my sister and I grew up playing soccer Dakota grew up with the sport also. Since she grew up playing soccer she got used to enjoying the sport. She wanted someone to play with and since we were always playing soccer she decided to join in. That is why she now enjoys soccer more than any other sport now. She loves soccer the most, because when my sister and I played soccer with her when we were younger.

My Dog Loves Some People More Than Others

                 My dog Dakota loves everybody no matter who you are. Even though she loves everyone, she loves some people more than others. I have noticed she gets more excited to see someone that she loves more. The more she loves you the longer she'll run around for. Dakota also follows around the person that she loves the most. She almost begs for those people to give her attention. Dogs are suppose to be really good judges of character says Pet Tip. That they can detect if a person is good or bad. From this i determined that Dakota must just follow the person that she thinks is the nicest.
               My dog treats my mom the best out of my whole family. Dakota follows my mom everywhere she goes. Dakota also gets extremely excited when my mom walks through the door. I believe Dakota loves my mom the most, because she is around Dakota the most. Since Dakota see's my mom the most she has become attached to her, and thinks my mom is the nicest person out of everyone.
             The rest of my family Dakota gets excited, but not extremely excited. She jumps out of her seat to say hi, and than goes to lay back down. When my mom isn't home Dakota will follow my dad around. If my dad and mom aren't home Dakota will follow my sister around. Lastly my dog will follow me around if nobody is home. I figure this is because I don't interact or play with Dakota as much as the rest of my family.
             I believe Dakota loves people who interact with her more. The more you play, interact, and spend time with her the more attached she becomes. She thinks that when you play with her that you are being nice, so the more you play with her the more she trusts and loves you. That is why I think Dakota loves my mom the most. She loves my mom, because my moms always around Dakota and is always playing with her.
