ResponderEliminarA tramp is a homeless person, or in this case, a dog, who has no job and goes from one place to another. My favourite tramp is "Golfo", the dog from the movie "Lady and the Tramp." He is a grey schnauzer. Although I prefer Reina since I like cocker spaniels much more. In fact, my pet Fresa was of that breed!
ResponderEliminarAs a child, this was one of my favourite films, especially the famous scene in which the main characters eat spaghetti and then they kiss. When I was little, I didn't like eating spaghetti, so my mother put that film so I could eat them without complaining, and it worked! The tricks of mothers are incredible...
I find it very interesting that for the live-action they have chosen to play “Golfo” a dog that was in a shelter. This promotes the adoption of dogs rather than buying them. Many dogs are homeless and are going to be euthanized, just as the text says. It´s a shame that people spend their money on dogs while they can also adopt others who are going to die if they aren´t adopted.
I´m so glad that Justin Theroux shared Monte's story on his Instagram to give visibility to this issue since people must learn about it. It´s clear to me that if I have a dog or any other pet in the future, I will adopt it instead of buying it. And I hope all of you do the same!
A dog is a domestic animal and is man's best friend, never betrays him. Dogs give company to lonely people , guide blind people, help rescue people, search for drugs ...
ResponderEliminarHaving a dog implies responsibility such as taking it out for a walk to relieve itself (you have to pick it up), bathe it, feed it, play with it, vaccinate it ...
A saying says "they get along like cats and dogs" this means that cats and dogs get along badly. There are dogs of different sizes, the smallest is called a Chihuahua and the largest is a Danish.
A dog is considered old at 14 years because it usually dies at 15 or 16 years
I would like to have a dog but my parents don't want it. They consider that it is a lot of responsibility.

There are many legends in the sport world, but I think that one of the most incredible athletes was Jesse Owens. He was a black American athlete from Alabama.
ResponderEliminarHe participated in the Olympic Games in 1936. He had to go to Germany and participated in different events. He won four gold medals: 100 meters, long jump, 200 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay. The best thing was that Hitler saw Owens when he won all the medals.
For me, Owens is an example for everyone because he was brave and he worked hard to be the best in those difficult times. If you want to know more details, you can watch the film Race about him.

ResponderEliminarA tramp is a person who travels from place to place on foot in search of work, it can also be synonym of vagrant or beggar, so a tramp is a homeless person. In this case they are talking about a dog and they say that the dog is a tramp, a dog without an owner that lives in the streets, some of these dogs are rescued by pet shelters, where the vagrant animals can live a "good" life while they wait to be adopted by an adoptive family.
ResponderEliminarNowadays there are a lot of people who don't have enough money to pay all the bils and bit by bit they owe a lot of money to the bank, if they have asked for a loan, or to a company, so they take off everything that he has, between them they take off his home. This person must live in the street because he doesn't have anything, we call them as I said before vagrant or tramp. Some of them ask for money in the streets and other try to find a job to earn some money.
And if we are talking about tramp as animals we can also see in the streets a lot of animals that their owner abandon them there, we can see dogs, cats or other domestic animals. I reckon that it is very bad for the part of the owner because if you have an animal you must be responsible enough to take care of it and not to abandon it. There are a lot of people that buy a little pet for their children and at first they take care of it, but when the pet grows and the children don't want to take care of it, they abandon it as if it were an object or toy.
Finally, in my opinion, the most popular tramp is Golfo, the dog of the Disney film "Lady and the Tramp" because almost everybody knows him. When I was younger, it was one of my favourite films and I saw it a lot of times. A few years ago they made a live action of this film and they chase a real tramp to make the role of Golfo and I think that this is really good because by this way they could make that some families, that wanted a dog, adopted it instead of buying it.

Homeless are persons who don’t have house. They sleep in the street and during the day They usually go to the doors of supermarket to ask for money.
ResponderEliminarThere are also homeless dog, these dog don’t have house because they have been abandoned. People buy a dog but they don’t know all things necessary for him like vaccines, go out and company.
I reckon that people who abandon a dog don’t have heart. I have a dog, her name is Noa and She’s very nervous.
Many homeless dogs are rescued by shelters. There they’re until someone adopts them.
In my opinion, dogs are the most intelligent animal.
Finally, I think that all people can’t pets.

ResponderEliminarA tramp is a homeless person who travels from place to place on foot asking for money or searching for a job.
ResponderEliminarThe original meaning of tramp was “walk with heavy footsteps”.
Nowadays, there are many people who have had difficult situations in their lives and now they have to live in the street. And like them, there are animals but almost all of them are dogs or cats who have been abandoned by their owners.
There are a lot of films which talk about it, and you can understand a little bit how difficult their lives can be.
I think to be a homeless person is too difficult because not having a home stops you from sleeping well, not having a space of privacy and security.

After reading that story, I’m more sure that second opportunities exist.
ResponderEliminarMaybe Monte was going to be killed like other dogs that live in a shelter. Fortunately, he has had a happy final, and he maybe is not conscious of his importance and that he is a Hollywood star, but I’m sure that he has realized that now he has a life of dreams.
However, I think that not everybody is prepared to live this life. You always have to be prepared to receive bad opinions and to be followed by people or sometimes paparazzi. And if you are so shy or you don’t like to be in a place too crowded, you will have times stressful. On the other hand, you will never feel alone and you also will receive a lot of good opinions. The most important thing is being strong psychologically.
