The document discusses stray dogs in Moscow. It provides background on what stray dogs are and why there are so many in Moscow. There are approximately 35,000 stray dogs in Moscow. They pose problems like transmitting diseases and biting people. Solutions discussed include building shelters, catching and sterilizing dogs, but it is difficult to completely remove dogs from the streets. The group visited a shelter called BIM that had better conditions than some government shelters. Their action plan was to write a fictional diary from the perspective of a stray dog to raise awareness.

11. Used to Moscow’s environment

12. Very skilled

14. Solutions from Management of Stray Dogs city budget was $30,000,000 to build 15 shelters last year – not enough thousands of strays rounded up every year some private shelters-ok, conditions in some government shelters – bad environment police trying hard to get dogs off streets after many attacks strays caught and killed sometimes

15. dogs removed, others come many rats if dogs removed made policy on counting, catching, sterilizing – last year strays put in pounds – small effect “It’s not really easy to completely move the dogs off the streets, I guess we just have to… learn how to live with them.” - Alexei Vereshchagin

16. B.I.M. As a field trip we visited a shelter called B.I.M. There we were able to see how bad conditions were for some strays before they were rescued. After going to B.I.M., we realized that people need to help minimize the population of strays. Some shelters, unlike B.I.M., don’t help strays in need, and conditions are terrible. Stray dogs in Moscow is a huge problem that needs attention. Stray dogs right near the elementary field

17. Below you will find a letter we sent to B.I.M. after our visit March 26, 2010 Dear Sir, Thank you for letting us visit your shelter. The shelter is very clean and tidy. It doesn’t really smell a lot which is good. We think all the dogs were in good condition. It’s good that all dogs are sterilized. It’s very good that you let the dogs walk outside even though the space was not that big. You gave us a lot of helpful information that we will use during our exhibition. Most of the dogs were nice and friendly. If we could have an opportunity to come back we would love to. Sincerely, Julia, Marlene, and Rebecca

18. Action Plan Our action plan was to make a fictional diary of a stray dog to share the information we have learned and to raise awareness of the problem of strays in Moscow. The main character in the diary is a dog named Maxim. In the story Maxim is the one who is “writing” the diary. It talks about his everyday life. During the diary he meets a couple friends (stray dogs). After we wrote the book we made our very own illustrations.

19. Steps We Have Taken 1st grade assembly- We read Diary of a Stray Dog at the first grade assembly. The first graders had a lot of questions and were very interested in what we had to say. 2nd and 3rd grade assembly- We also read the Diary of a Stray Dog at the 2nd and 3rd grade assembly. We had a huge impact on them and someone even wrote a poem about it and another student continued the dog diary in his personal writing journal. One other student even wanted to purchase a copy of the book.

20. Steps We Will Take After exhibition is over we will continue to work on publishing the book. We will create book order forms for: personal student orders each elementary classroom the library The company we are using to publish our book is called Nationwide Learning. The cost to pre-order the book will be $15. 95 to cover the cost of publishing and shipping.
