Despite having had the bond of man and dog betrayed, they still look at humans with love and-God knows why-trust.

Dog fighting is an insidious underground organized crime that deserves much legal and political scrutiny. The blood sport, once sanctioned by aristocracy, embraced by medieval gentry and later promoted by colonial and Victorian miscreants, is now completely outlawed in the United States. Pg1 (par 1)
How Stuff Works.2007.Jacob Silverman.26 Sept. 2007 http://howstuffworks.com/dogfighting1.htm This site gives you incite on dog fighting. The phenomenon dates back to the ancient Romans. So the story of dog fighting is very old yet still very fresh in the media today.
RV For Sale Guide .2007. 26 Sept. 2007 http://rvforsaleguide.com/pit-bull-fights-porcupine.htm Here is a very weird but interesting story about a pit bull attacking a porcupine. Even though the dogs are very intelligent they are very instinctive. Their instinctive ness actually overrides their intelligence.
The Pit Bull who Fights Drugs.2005.4thepits.26 Sept. 2007 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1401528/posts Interesting enough there is a pit bull who has excelled so well in sniffing out narcotics he is the best dog on the force. Beating out some 100 other dogs.

Filer, Joyce. The Mystery of the Egyptian Mummy. London: Oxford University Press, 2003.
Filer covers a vast array of subjects pertaining to these great people, the Egyptians. This book proved to be a trustworthy reference to build my background research. He goes through the steps through out the different dynasties that they took to perfect the art of mummification. In those days you had to be wealthy to be mummified, even the lowest price was too expensive for ordinary people. I found it fascinating that not only did they want to enter the after life themselves, but also for their pets, and animals that they were fond of.
Hawass, Zahi. Valley of the Golden Mummies. New York: Harry N. Abrams INC, 2000.
Zahi Hawass is a great writer, for my research paper I have two books beautifully written by Zahi. Here he tells of his personal experience with curses. He goes into detail on the life changing experiences that he encountered while excavating and processing some of the artifacts from these mysterious tombs of the Egyptians. This book gives incite on old practices of archeologists and how there practices gave total disregard for these people. You can tell that Zahi has a tremendous respect for these people. He writes of these wonderful people in his books to give them eternal life after all.
Landau, Elaine. The Curse of Tutankhamen. Brookfield, Connecticut: Millbrook Press, 1996.
In Elaine's book "The Curse of Tutankhamen", she includes information relevant to support my position on the Ancient Egyptians beliefs. This book gives accounts of many individuals that lost their lives in the days following the excavation of Tutankhamen's tomb. I found this book very interesting. There are many facts pertaining to time of death, and cause of deaths that are very interesting. In my research I wanted to include some actual instances where a curse was found in a tomb. Many untold stories lay to rest in these deserts in Egypt and this book only sheds light on a small one. Even though so small, this story is one of revenge, betrayal, sabotage, and butchery. It’s a shame that people had to loose their lives due to their curiosity, and disregard for the resting places of a powerful nation.
