动物狗英语作文（汇编20篇）

生活中，我见过的动物数不胜数，而我最喜欢的就是我家养的那只小狗。

我家的小狗浑身雪白，所以我给它取名为小白。小白的瓜子脸上嵌着一双水汪汪的大眼睛。它的耳朵像一个倒三角形，长长地披在脸的两边。它的尾巴很奇特，别的小狗尾巴都有十多厘米，而它的尾巴却短得可怜，只有五厘米。

小白最大的特点就是贪吃了。记得有一次我从超市买了一根火腿肠。一回家，我就顾不上别的，第一件事就是将火腿肠切成了四份，准备分给小白一份。小白一见我要给它送美味，便围着我转圈。嘴里还不时地发出汪汪的声音，好像在说：“小主人，谢谢你!”我刚把火腿肠放在地上，它便叼着飞快地跑开了，好像生怕我和它抢似的!我拿着剩下的火腿肠准备回房间看电视，没想到刚打开电视机，小白又走到我身边汪汪直叫，我有些无可奈何，只得又拿了一根火腿给它，它叼着一溜烟跑开了。

这就是我家的贪吃小狗，它的贪吃已经名扬四海了。

Do you know what my favorite animal? Is the dog of course. My grandma keep a dog, it has a beautiful black hair, a pair of intense big eyes, four legs as fast like a rocket.

你知道我最喜欢什么动物吗?当然是小狗。我姥姥家养了一只小狗，它有一身乌黑亮丽的毛，一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，四只腿跑得像火箭一样快。

有一天，我发现狗窝里又多了一些小狗，哦!原来是这只母狗生的，一共四只。这些小狗又可爱又调皮，每天在院子里跑来跑去，一会跑屋里，一会跑楼上，一会躲那，一会跑这，好像跟一群小朋友躲迷藏，时不时，老狗还向小狗汪汪得喊两声，好像在说：“孩子们，别跑太远了，注意安全。”玩了一天的小狗们都累了，吃完饭，伸个懒腰，打个哈欠，投入到狗妈妈的怀抱里，小狗们很快就进入了甜甜的梦香，嘴里还时不时的发出咕咕的声音，好像在说梦话。

第二天早上，小鸟在枝头唱歌，叫醒了正在熟睡的小狗，它们打个哈欠，伸个懒腰，揉揉睡意惺忪的眼睛，又开始了一天的快乐生活。

瞧!多么快乐的小狗，真是幸福美好的一家。

谁说乡里的狗不能进城啦，我就是一只乡下无敌媲美外加萝莉称号的女狗贝贝，而且是这部进城记得女主角哦!好啦好啦，准备开拍啦，有什么事我们下班再聊!

“咔嚓!”小狗进城记开拍了。

早上，我来到卖肉包子的地方，用那可怜巴巴的眼神望着店老板。我一直在用眼睛述说着我的困难，老板听不懂狗语，但很快明白了我的意思，给你一个“狗不理”吧，我可要理啦!我拿着热气腾腾的包子吃起来，那滋味别提多好吃。走之前，我也不忘给那好心的老板一个“飞吻”。

中午，我走到了一个繁华的城市，那里一栋栋楼房耸立在云端。嗬，这里怎么有这么多吃的呀!还扔在垃圾旁，太不像话了。我得多拿点，好给我在乡下挨饿的兄弟姐妹们分一点。哎呀!这里什么都有：吃剩的半条鲜鱼，块刚咬的饼干，欧，还有我最爱吃的包子。

我猛然抬头一看，有一只“天仙般”的小狗望着我哩!虽然它是我的同类，但我看见它还是羡慕嫉妒恨啊!它被一个穿着时髦的主人拉着，倍儿有面子啊!而且它还穿一身长裙。我过去跟它打招呼，哼，它理都不理我，还对我做出鄙视的表情随及说道：“土包子，看见你我就恶心，滚远点。”什么嘛，有什么了不起的，不就是一只养尊处优的贵族狗嘛!离了主人看你怎么办!

傍晚，我来到一个郊区。这郊区传来一阵阵“砰砰砰”的声音，以我敏锐的听力来看，这就是枪，遇见猎人了。嗯，枪，妈呀!快跑!可惜背着重重的背包，跑不动啊!这城里太危险了，赶快跑，枪声还是不断地响起。突然一粒子弹击中我的脑袋，欧，不要啊，我不想死啊!

这回看来不死不行了，正当我奄奄一息时，传来一阵声音：“哈哈哈，今天大收获，有狗肉吃了。”

最终，我成了人们的盘中餐，可悲啊!

My fish tank with three small goldfish, one particularly attractive. Its eyes bulging, like a pair of big light bulb. Small mouth, a mouth spit out a series of small blisters, like children blow bubble gum. I named it "bubble eyes" three goldfish often play hide-and-seek together. "Bubble eyes" to stay still in one place, after waiting for the other two small goldfish hide well turned to find, but the two small goldfish too cunning, with unnoticed behind the "bubble eyes".

我家鱼缸里养着三条小金鱼，其中一条特别惹人喜爱。它的眼睛鼓鼓的，像一对大灯泡。嘴巴小小的，一张嘴就吐出一连串的小水泡，像小朋友吹泡泡糖一样。我给它取名“水泡眼”三条金鱼经常在一起玩捉迷藏的游戏。“水泡眼”先停留在一个地方动也不动，等另外两条小金鱼躲好后转身去找，可那两条小金鱼太狡猾了，神不知鬼不觉地跟在“水泡眼”的后面。害得“水泡眼”半天也找不到。过了一会儿，它一转头，才发现另外两条小金鱼。我家养的小金鱼真有趣!

在动物家庭中，有一种乖巧、驯良的动物，那就是狗。它对主人忠诚，即使主人骂它，打它，它也从来不会反抗，当主人遇到危险时，它便会毫不犹豫地扑上去解救主人。

狗的嗅觉很灵敏，只要把鼻子贴在地上，它就能闻到地底下的气味和几百米外的美食。就拿搜救犬来说吧，四川发生地震后，搜救犬日夜不停地工作，救回了无数人的生命呢！

狗的种类有许多，比如狼狗、金巴，牧羊犬、狮子狗、导盲犬……最可爱的要数小金巴，它有着一身雪白发亮的毛发，两个“黑葡萄”印在上面，这双可爱的大眼睛在夜间时能放出绿色的光，怪恐怖的呢。你要是有过亲身经历，一定会和我一样，被吓得魂飞魄散。最温柔的是导盲犬，它可以帮助盲人过马路，是残疾人生命中不可缺少的一部分呢。

狗的品种不同，当然它们爱吃的食物也不一样，大部分狗狗都爱吃狗粮，但也有狗狗爱吃一些古怪的食物。有时爱吃鸡肝，但没过几天它又换胃口了，又吃起了高贵的牛肉。吃着吃着，越吃越好，竟吃上了牛排。也有的狗狗喜欢和猫抢着吃猫鱼，胆小的猫咪只好在一旁观看吃得津津有味的狗，假如你看见这个景象，一定会想起弱肉强食这个成语。猫也不是好惹的，有时急了，会在狗狗的脸上留下一条掌印，狗狗只好逃走了。

别看狗狗蛮可爱的，可它们身上有着几百万个细菌呢，它们在狗狗身上跳着、蹦着，狗狗不得不伸出锋利的爪子挠挠身，有时太用劲了，爪子钩在了毛里面，只好向主人求救了。

If you ask me what the little animals I like, then Ill tell you that the little animal I like is the puppy.

我喜欢的小动物是纯白色的猫，它全身白似雪的毛让我无比喜爱，它的眼睛白天眯成一条缝，晚上圆溜溜的，活像两颗绿宝石。他的耳朵一直翘着，只要你动一下，他的耳朵就会动一下;他的听力十分敏捷，只要有人轻轻走过，它就会“喵喵”的叫;它的牙齿很坚硬，又尖又长，吃起东西来十分轻松，我很喜欢它。

记着有一次，我的哥哥到我家来玩，小猫无比热情，一直冲哥哥“微笑”。哥哥见他这么可爱，便拿出一根很粗的毛线，要知道猫最喜欢玩毛线了，哥哥提着毛线，小猫也跟着走，毛线从拐弯处过去，猫一下冲过去，没有抓到，自己倒扑了个空，我和妈妈哈哈大笑，猫有点生气，哥哥换了一块布，过了拐弯处，小猫冲去，又扑了空，这下哥哥成了“斗猫士”了。哥哥又把五个凳子摆成一排，把毛线放在凳子口，小猫一下冲过去，奋力咬住了毛线，我为它欢呼，为它高兴。

冬天来了，我给小猫盖了一个温暖的窝，它非常高兴。每当我放学回家走在楼梯上时，小猫就卧在沙发上等我，我一进门，它脸上笑成了一朵花。见我买了吃的给它，高兴得舔着我的手，无比热情!

有天，爸爸给我说：“你看哪，狗可是忠臣，猫可是奸臣。”我着急了，忙说：“猫是我最喜欢的动物，它才不是奸臣呢!”妈妈跑过来当裁判，规定每人写出喜欢猫或狗的理由5个，然后评高低。我的笔刷刷写着，1、我喜欢猫;2、小猫的毛很光滑;3、猫对我很真诚;4、猫非常可爱;5、猫非常机灵。刚写完，我抬头看看爸爸，哈，他才写了两个，我们都交了卷后，裁判以爸爸写的字多为由，宣布爸爸胜利。我很不服气，我相信，我会将小猫的可爱永远扞卫下去!

小猫，淘气、可爱，他给我的生活带来了快乐，无论怎样，我最喜欢的动物就是小猫!

一天， 妈妈给我买了俩只漂漂亮亮，小巧玲珑的小狗，可爱极了!

那是一个双休日的傍晚，天气十分寒冷。可我的被窝却是暖暖的。我们家的俩只小狗却冷的发抖，它们触到暖气，像箭一般地跑过来。蹑手蹑脚地在我床边，间了闻那暖气，小心翼翼地爬到了我的床上，钻进去鼓成了一个小圆球，舒舒服服的睡起了大睡。忽然，我的脚好像有冰，起来一看，床单湿了一大块，我很害怕爸爸、妈妈明天会骂我。于是就十万火急的下床，冷静一想：“我的裤子怎么没湿呀!”我慢慢地掀开被子吓了一大跳!原来是小狗!这时我的心才平静下来，我把抱下小狗来，气极败坏的把它们骂了一顿。从那时起妈妈给小狗买了件暖暖的衣裳。

以后小狗再也没冷过，我的床再也没湿过，看!这就是我家“淘气包”我爱我调皮的小狗。

The dog is one of the most popular pets in the world. It ordinarily remains loyal to a considerate master, and because of this the dog has been called mans best friend. Class distinctions between people have no part in a dogs life. It can be a faithful companion to either rich or poor.

Dogs have been domesticated for most of human history and have thus endeared themselves to many over the years. Stories have been told about brave dogs that served admirably in war or that risked their lives to save persons in danger. When Pompeii--the Roman community destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in AD 79--was finally excavated, searchers found evidence of a dog lying across a child, apparently trying to protect the youngster. Perhaps few of the millions of dogs in the world may be so heroic, but they are still a source of genuine delight to their owners.

A dog fits easily into family life. It thrives on praise and affection. When a master tells a dog that it is good, the animal happily wags its tail. But when a master scolds a dog, it skulks away with a sheepish look and with its tail tucked between its legs.

People in the city as well as those in other areas can enjoy a dog. Medium-size or small dogs are best suited for the confines of the city. Large dogs need considerable exercise over a large area.

Dogs are not always well thought of, however. In recent years dogs in the city have been in the center of controversy. Some people have criticized dog owners for allowing their pets to soil sidewalks and lawns, although in some cities laws oblige owners to walk their dogs along street curbs. In turn, dog owners have argued that the animals serve as protection against vandals and burglars and thus protect their detractors as well as their owners.

When a person decides to own a dog, he should be prepared to care for it properly. For a dog to stay healthy it must be correctly fed and adequately groomed, and its medical needs must be met. For a dog to be well-mannered it must be properly trained. It should never be ill-treated or mishandled. Otherwise, it will bite in its own defense.

The wild ancestors of all dogs were hunters. Wolves and other wild relatives of the dog still hunt in packs for their food. Dogs have retained the urge to be with the pack. This is why they do not like to be left alone for long. Some breeds of dogs still retain the hunting instinct.

Dogs exist in a wide range of sizes, colors, and temperaments. Some, such as the Doberman pinscher and the German shepherd, serve as alert and aggressive watchdogs. Others, such as the beagle and the cocker spaniel, are playful family pets, even though they were bred for hunting. Still others, such as the collie and the Welsh corgi, can herd farm or range animals. Each of the dogs just mentioned is a purebred. A mongrel dog, however--one with many breeds in its background--can just as easily fit into family life.

Dogs have been with humans since prehistoric times. Over the years they have performed various services. They have pulled sleds over snowy tracts. They have delivered messages, herded sheep and cattle, and even rescued persons trapped in the snow. Dogs have served as a source of food, too. The ancient Romans are said to have prized certain kinds of dog stew. The Aztecs of ancient Mexico raised tiny dogs, thought to be the forebears of the chihuahua, to feed the large carnivores in the private zoos of the Aztec rulers. In the past dogs have even been worshiped as gods. Recently, they have been used in drug research, medical experimentation, and space science. Soviet scientists launched dogs into space to test the ability of mammals to survive the rigors of space travel before people were sent up.

Dogs are trained as guard dogs in peacetime by the United States Army and other military services. Because of their keen sense of smell, dogs are used by police at times to track down escaped prisoners. Law enforcement agencies also rely on the dogs acute sense of smell to uncover illegal drugs. And specially trained dogs serve as the "eyes" of the blind, guiding the steps of their sightless masters around obstacles and hazards.

狗是世界上最受欢迎的宠物之一。它通常仍然忠于一个体贴的主人,因为这个狗被称为人类最好的朋友。人们之间的阶级差别没有生活在狗的一部分。它可以是一个忠实的伴侣,无论是富人还是穷人。

狗驯化在人类历史的大多数时期,因此球员很多。故事被告知关于勇敢的狗,令人钦佩的战争或冒着生命危险拯救的人处于危险之中。当庞培——罗马社区在公元79年被维苏威火山——终于被挖掘,搜索者发现一只狗躺在一个孩子的证据,显然试图保护这个年轻人。也许一些世界上数以百万计的狗可能是英雄,但他们仍然是一个真正的喜悦主人的来源。

一只狗容易符合家庭生活。在赞美和感情。当大师告诉一只狗,它是好的,动物快乐地摇尾巴。但当主人骂狗,它潜伏了一个羞怯的外观和它的两腿之间夹着尾巴。

城市的人们以及那些在其他领域可以享受一只狗。中型或小型狗是最适合城市的范围。大型犬在大面积需要相当大的锻炼。

然而,狗并不总是值得思考的。近年来狗在城市里一直在争论的中心。有些人批评狗主人允许宠物土壤人行道和草坪,尽管在一些城市的法律迫使业主限制他们的狗沿着街道散步。反过来,狗主人认为,动物作为防范破坏者和窃贼,从而保护他们的批评者以及它们的主人。

当一个人决定自己的一条狗,他应该准备妥善照顾它。狗保持健康必须正确美联储和充分培养及其医疗需求必须得到满足。狗必须得到适当的训练表现得彬彬有礼。它不应该虐待或处理不当。否则,它会咬自己的防御。

所有的狗都是猎人的野生祖先。狼和其他的野生亲缘狗仍然集体觅食的食物。狗有保留的冲动与包。这就是为什么他们不喜欢独处太久。一些品种的狗仍然保留了狩猎的本能。

狗存在大范围的大小,颜色,和性情。一些,比如杜宾犬,德国牧羊犬,作为预警和积极的监督者。其他的,如小猎犬和可卡犬,好玩的家庭宠物,尽管他们的狩猎。还有一些,比如牧羊犬和威尔士科基犬,可以群农场或范围的动物。每个狗刚才提到的一个纯种。一条杂种狗,然而——有许多品种的背景——可以很容易适应家庭生活。

狗自史前时代以来一直与人类。这些年来,他们已经在执行各种服务。他们已经把雪橇在雪大片。他们传递的消息,赶羊和牛,甚至救出被困在雪地里的人。狗也有担任过的食物来源。古罗马人据说炖珍贵的某些种类的狗。古代墨西哥的阿兹特克提出了很小的狗,认为是吉娃娃的祖先,给阿兹特克的私人动物园大型食肉动物的统治者。在过去的狗甚至被崇拜为神。最近,他们被用于药物研究、医疗实验,和空间科学。苏联科学家发射了狗测试能力的哺乳动物生存的艰辛太空旅行之前人打发了。

狗是训练有素的警犬在和平时期的美国军队和其他军事服务。因为他们的敏锐的嗅觉,狗被警察有时用来追踪逃跑的囚犯。执法机构也依靠狗的敏锐的嗅觉发现非法毒品。和受过专门训练的狗充当盲人的“眼睛”,指导的步骤失明的主人在障碍和危害。
