What I Want to Know About my Topic
Yes, I know a lot about animals and their shocking deformities, but no one knows everything. I want to know what the deformity in each animal is caused by. I wonder if a certain deformity for a certain animal has ever skipped a generation of that same line of animals. The things that you never think about could be the ones that are most important things you need to know. To me, animals are mysterious – you can never be sure if they’re in pain or stressed. I want to know how an owner knows when their beloved pet is in need of medical attention for a chronic disability that comes upon them at a certain age. How will the owner know if their pet is on the verge of a disabling deformity – is there a way to prevent this? These are the questions that ponder through my head every time I see a suffering animal. This is a problem – a really big problem – that we all need to get together and solve.

What I Already Knew About my Topic
What I Already Knew About my Topic
When I made my decision to write about animal deformities, I began to think about the many deformities that animals are burdened to live with. There are many things that animals go through, the average human wouldn’t be able to bear it. The sad part about it is the fact that these animals are chronically diagnosed with these deformities because of the simple things in life such as being too low to the floor, running, or even being too intelligent.
The Chihuahua, as well as the wiener dog, has shoulder dislocation only because they are built so close to the ground. The sheep dogs, which are the running type to put the herd into place, are eventually diagnosed with hip dysplasia, only for doing its job- running. The Dalmatian dog has a very unusual disorder – intelligence. Once the Dalmatian dog gets to be a certain age, its brain begins to outgrow its skull. Eventually, the dog goes crazy and has to be humanely euthanized. So you can never really tell what an animal’s world truly involves.

The Story Behind My Topic
When Ms. McKoy told us that we were allowed to choose our own topic for our research paper, I began to surf through my mind for the perfect one. I thought of the things that I loved, I thought of the things that were important to mankind. What will I bring to the “to the table” that’ll get everyone’s attention? That’s when it hit me! I love animals, animals have a position of importance in this world too, you know.
Now that I had my leading idea, I need to focus on what my topic would be based on. That’s when I thought about “animal deformities”, the many malfunctions that animals don’t ask for but can’t do anything about. The white tiger is one of the many animals that suffer with burdening deformities. I chose to write about them!
