Dogs, Dust and Allergens!

In my article, Susan Lynch from the University of California has shown that living with animals such as dogs and cats can increase how diverse bacteria in dust can be. She tested their bacteria rich dust on mice; by feeding it to them.  Lynch is a very smooth writer. She helps the reader at the very beginning what is to be addressed. For me, I had no idea that dogs are practically immune to airborne allergens. Lynch went very deep on her findings by informing us that in 2010, her team found that houses who occupy dogs and sometimes cats harbor a border range of bacteria in dust then that of houses who don’t occupy animals. My only one true question was that when Lynch stated that she tested this problem on mice, I was confused. But when I got more into the reading I put two and two together to understand what she is talking about. Dogs are just naturally immune to airborne allergens. I felt that Lynches’ logos concept is very straightforward. She was very smart about looking up things that needed research as well as testing things out herself to get what she needed to know. There were some points where ethos can be addressed, because the way Lynch did all of her structured research which shows how she thinks and processes things in her mind.
