My favorite animal

In the world are a lot of interesting and amazing animals. You can find different species with spectaculars characteristics so, always is difficult to my when someone ask my which is my favorite. For example, I love dogs, whales and exotic animals like the big felines. I think that I like all the animals, but if I have to choose just one of them, I will choose dogs.

The scientific name of dog is Canis lupus familiaris. This specie has around of 300 different races. Is so incredible think about it because all of these types of dog come from the one ancestor: the wolf. For this reason they have the attention of people who study genetic.


I have lot of reasons to love these animals. Following I will explain why I like dogs.

Dogs are very intelligent animals. They can resolve problems like bring something if you ask for them. In internet you a can studies that confirm this attribute of dog. For example, a scientific investigates the ability of dog to recognize an object when you show them with your finger. They discover that dog really look the object and play attention of what are you saying.


They can know what you feel. In my life I have had too dogs. The first was Pelusa and now I have Clementine. I notice that both have a similar comportment in fixed situations. When I was crying, Pelusa always come to me and look to my eyes like saying “don´t cry everything is going to be good” and then she use to put her head in my hands. Clementine makes the same thing and even she knows when you are angry for something that she made.


I like to help dogs just because they deserve this. They are faithful to us and give a lot of love. We have to fight for their rights and have that government legislate about it. Dogs don´t have voice, we have to be their voice. If you don´t like animals, try to think that they are alive like you. Dogs have pain and illness like any human be so we have to make something about it.


I hope be a good vet to help my favorite animals and give them a better quality of life.

WHAT TO DO/ WHERE TO GO IN SANTIAGO

Santiago is a beautiful place to travel across. You can find great places to take someone who want to know our city. In the next lines I will recommend you where you have to go if you are in Santiago.

First I think that a good place that you should go is “Plaza de Armas”. This is a historic place and here are a lot of museums. Also you can see old buildings that date of the colony times. For example, the cathedral or post office.

Other place to go is the Santa Lucia´s hill. Here you will see a kind of castle with a nice park to have a rest. The only problem is that you have to be careful because here are a lot of delinquents.

Another place that you should go is Moneda´s Palace because this is other historic place. Maybe if you have lucky you can see the president of the republic.

If you want to drink something or have a good time with your friends you have to go to “Bella vista”. Here you will find a lot of pubs and places to, like we say in Chile, “carretiar” for a moment. Even you can meet someone and have a nice conversation with this person.

To finish a place that in my opinion is very nice and represent the Chilean people is “Paseo Ahumada”. I love this place because always you can see mimes, actors or musicians that I shore will make you a very good time.

Well I hope you enjoy your stay in my loved Santiago city.

Death Penalty

Well, this is a difficult topic to me, because I have two different opinions about it. In my view it has positives and negative things. To my mind death penalty is bad cause we don´t have the power to decide if someone have to die or have to live. Too years ago, someone said: “if you don´t have any sin, throw the first stone”. All of as deserve a second chance to change and to by sorry about our actions. Also we have to think that these people have a family and independently of their acts, their children and wife will be alone. On the other hand, to be honest, death penalty has a good thing. People commit crimes because they know that they will be free soon and in the prison they will be better than now. In this place the prisoners have free food and a bed to sleep. All these things are paid with the tax of honest people. I think that if death penalty would be valid, maybe criminal will not make bad things because they would be afraid. It can sound cruel but this is the only way to people can understand that they don´t have to make things like kill someone else. To finish, from my point of view the solution to stop with all this violence is the education and prevention. Maybe we have to try to do things for children in social risk because they could be the criminals of the future.
