Dog Breed - PP

There is a new retrovirus which is devastating dog populations and killing at an astoundingly rapid rate. It is of course a terrible shame to let any dog suffer and die. Unfortunately we only have enough vaccine supply to save one breed. As a dog lover and a biologist my best recommendation would be to save German Shepherds.

 

When someone thinks of a dog they want to have as part of their family, what traits come to mind first? Loyalty, protective, affectionate and playful are likely candidates. German Shepherds encompass these traits wonderfully. They are a loyal and protective dog and would make good guard dogs for families. This breed is also known to be highly intelligent. They also require relatively little maintenance when compared to other dogs. Of course they are highly energetic and love to play as well! Overall, the German Shepherd has a great temperament and will make the an excellent addition to any family and may fill a variety of other roles, such as a service or police dog.

 

I must reiterate how terrible it is that we are forced to choose a single breed to save because of this awful retrovirus. I do not want to see any dog suffer, and I especially do not want to see any breed completely vanish. However, for the reasons stated previously, and in my opinion as a dog lover, I believe our best choice of dog breed to save is the German Shepherd.

Great, used pathos logos and ethos, included a source.  very well written for a persuasive paragraph, gets the reader involved with exclamation points and ethos.  The paragraphs are kind of short and the wrong dog was chosen.

Great, influencial paragraph. The only suggestion I can make is to possibly omit unescessary words to make the paragraph less wordy and flow better.
