Name : S U H A N D O K O NIM : 140221808485 KPS : MING 074115 Study Program : Graduate Program in English Language Teaching Summary of Reader’s Digest Magazine entitled Designer Dog This story tells about a puppy breeder who received a request from an eye- impaired woman who requested an allergy–free guide-dog because her husband is allergic to dogs. So she started breeding puppy by crossing some kinds of dog. Many experiments have been done, but none came to a satisfying result. Until one day, she got the idea of crossing a standard poodle with a labrador. From the crossing, she got three puppies, but only one of which is appropriate to the eye-impaired woman’s husband. The next challenge is that no home wanted to foster the pups before they are compatible with an eye- impaired woman. This happens because nobody wanted to have a crossbred. When she got depressed, she began not to mention crossbred and using the term ‘labradoodle’ which is an acronym from labrador and poodle. This was successful until the pups were ready to accommodate an eye- impaired woman whose husband is allergic to dog. This success led her to start her dog crossbred business until finally she was appointed as an internationally credited breeder as the first breeder of labradoodles. Thing that I can learn from the story is that what we do as regular activity can be a profitable business if we stick on it and work hard.
