Buetow “tries to emulate”(41) Duncan following the ways Duncan lives his life. Buetow before having Duncan considered himself “street smart” (42) shyly avoiding eye contact with people he didn’t know or think he wanted to know. Duncan changed all that now Buetow started to smile at others he didn’t know or even greet others too, when his dog Duncan stopped to say hello.
What is being loyal to someone, how can it be seen? Why is it that when one is betrayed, that is all that they think about night and day? The truth is loyalty cannot be seen but only felt between people who have faith within one another. As for betrayal, it can affect one so severely that it cannot leave their mind, especially if a loved one has caused it. In “Choices” by Susan Kerslake and “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, the authors suggest that a person can change based solely on their needs, and question their ability to stay loyal or betray.
(Tobias Wolff) One quote that exceptionally explains my claims on the man and the dog's relationship is, "Once, sensing danger, he made the dog go ahead. The dog did not want to go. It hesitated until the man

When Caliban, the dog, was loyal and protected the baby, the master and his wife thought it was him. Throughout Emma-Lindsay Squier’s story, The Soul of Caliban it’s clear that loyalty doesn’t guarantee respect. One example that loyalty doesn 't guarantee respect occurred when the dog, Caliban, chose to follow his master, but still got jealous. So the owner didn 't respect him at the end. Emma- Lindsay wrote, “Perhaps it 's too much that he could count the sheep his master onew.

The dog does not know danger or know what the man is trying to do, but the tone in the man's voice and the dog’s wisdom is telling him to stay away from the man. The author then continues
The main argument is that of unflinching, unquestionable and undiluted loyalty to one 's country of natural birth, but the fact that all natural born citizens need to be of unquestionable loyalty to the country is not always tenable, and besides, there is nothing to suggest that outside citizens who have made the USA their permanent homes have lesser degree of unflinching, unquestionable, inexorable and undiluted loyalty to their country of stay than those shown by native US citizens. This writer believes that that one 's country of birth does not really matter, in terms of loyalties, since families of outside origins may possess greater degree of patriotism, fervor and country loyalty, than perhaps some natives do. The moot question is
Can someone’s loyalty to you change the way you treat them? In the Book of Ruth, Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi and God gave her what she wanted which is a husband.

Someone once said, “Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either completely loyal, or not loyal at all. And people have to understand this. You can’t be loyal only when it serves you.”
Right off the bat, I would have to disagree with Robbins and Judge (2017) when they explain that the word loyalty is outdated and that no employers keep employees around for an extended amount of time and that employees do not stick around for an entire career (p. 92). In my current workplace, I work directly with individuals who have been with the University of Oklahoma for more than 20 years. That screams loyalty to me. However, this is not to say that these individuals are over the moon for their jobs. Many of the employees have moved around from position to position but they have kept their loyalty with the university.
Mark Twain believes that dogs are superior to man because out of all animals, man is the only one that is cruel enough to inflict pain on others just for the pleasure of doing it. Twain’s short story “A Dog’s Tale”, written in 1903, displays these beliefs and is done so from a dog’s point of view. This unusual take on the story is used to help convey the theme that one shouldn’t assume the others will do the same for them. The story includes literary elements such as characterisation, structural irony and a plot and conflict. It is a story of a loyal and heroic dog which unfortunately ends in an ironic twist of fate.
In the text, “Hachiko, The Story Of A Loyal Dog” in paragraph 16 there was a sentence that gave a great example of the loyalty between a dog and a human. Hachiko, the dog, would sit at the station everyday and wait, even though his owner, Dr. Uneo, was never coming back. After weeks, months, and even years, Hachiko had been waiting for his owner at the station. He was so loyal to his owner, that he
