I actually used rhetoric today. On the news and in the newspaper today there was an article about dogs. There were about 30 dogs that were seized from a dog breeder in Riverview, Florida and they were put up for adoption at Hillsborough County Animal Services. I love dogs and I wanted one when I heard this. I went on the website for Hillsborough County Animal Service and there were over 300 dogs listed there. It broke my heart and I wanted so bad to help them out and give a home for a dog or two. I live with my parents so I had to try and convince my mom to get another dog. The rhetoric I used were logos and pathos. I had to research the type of dog so my mom would know the facts. I also used emotion because there were so many dogs that needed a home.

I wanted to write more but the site limited me to 250 characters. I would have used youtube but the site wouldn't let you commit because of maintenance.

My full comment on the myspace video would have been:

This video is really sad. It's depressing that people could treat an animal like that. I've watched a few of these animal cruelty videos and it just breaks my heart. Being a dog owner and lover, I couldn't help but to look at my dog and cry. Knowing that someone could hurt something like that who just wants to love you and be loved. Watching this it's hard not to help and donate money so these animals could get the help they need.
