friendships are forged from a long-term familiarity with
one another, and other friendships can spring up just by
spending one fun evening together. Not all friendships
result in daily or even weekly time spent together; long-
term friendships can be kept afloat using
communication tools like the Internet and telephone,
while other friendships result in sporadic get-togethers
months or even years apart.

ways. Most notably, they can be categorized by breed.

their masters and the work they do. For example, a dog
might be a family pet, a working dog, a show dog, or a
hunting dog. In many cases, dogs are defined both by
their breed and their role. For example, a dog could be a
beagle that is a family pet.

October 8, 1871. A problem with the alarm box made it
impossible for the people in the area to call for the fire
department. By 9:30 pm, the entire block was blazing.
In another 3 hours, there were fires all over Chicago.
The heavy wind coming from the lake only made the
fire bigger. The next day, the fire were completely out.
By that time, 17,500 buildings had been burned. This
was known as the Great Chicago Fire.
