In Class: Pathos

I brought a picture of my dog, Dixie for my pathos artifact. Since pathos pertains to emotional appeals, I felt this artifact was appropriate because put in simple terms,  I love my dog. She is the sweetest dog and the first dog I ever had.

I keep this picture of her on my desk and have had this same picture of her for many years. This picture was taken when she was 4 years-old, right after we found her after her being lost for two days, so this particular picture of her is important to me. Right now, Dixie is 8 years-old. While this is not terribly old for a dog, she struggles with a few medical issues,the most serious one being pancreatitis.

I miss her when I'm away at school and am always praying she stays well and lives a long, normal life despite her ongoing illness.
