Chapter Two Methods and Materials Methods Document analysis and parative method are adopted in the research. I spent much time searching proverbs containing dogs on the internet and read the books I borrowed from our library. Through the extensive data collection, I classified these data to three parts: positive, neutral, negative two table, and two charts came out. Document analysis is mainly used on the basis of the previous studies, different Chinese and English proverbs containing dogs and the achievements by other scholars. Document analysis method is used to set the research content or the research object.It is clear that the research deals with the contrastive analysis of proverbs containing dogs between Chinese and English. Many other methods are also used with the parative method, such as the statistical method, categorization, and exemplification. In the process of collecting the relevant proverbs the methods are used. From two chat and tables we can see both in Chinese and English the negative account for the most part about 45 percent. In Chinese proverbs containing dogs, positive only account for 4 percent. But in English its account for 15 percent. In the part of data analysis appeared in the next chapter, methods of categorization and exemplification are adopted. I classified these data to three parts: positive, neutral, negative. Materials Chinese Proverbs Containing Dogs In China dogs are often used to watch over its master39。 Negative:9. 肉包子打狗：一去不回頭。17. 狗仗人勢(shì)，雪仗風(fēng)勢(shì)?！? English Proverbs Containing Dogs Dog is considered as the best friend of human in most Englishspeaking countries. Many proverbs containing dogs in English is positive.

E：like a dog at a whistleC：呼之即來。 Most proverbs containing dogs in English is also negative such as “Dog eat dog”, “dog it”, “a dirty dog” and so on. There is not so much difference with Chinese proverbs in this aspect. But from the listed proverbs containing dogs above, we can find the positive aspect in English is much higher than in Chinese. Chapter Three Major Findings Data AnalysisAfter analyzing from the proverbs above, two tables and charts e out as follows:Chart one Chinese proverbs containing dogs：positivenegativeneutraltotal114722Chart two English proverbs containing dogs：positivenegativeneutraltotal730946 From the two tables and charts, we can see both in Chinese and English the negative account for the most part. In Chinese proverbs containing dogs, positive only account for 4 percent. But in English its account for 15 percent. To most of us, most image of dog in Chinese is humble and most image of dog in English is noble. But from the two charts, this opinion might have a departure. From the two charts we can see, in both Chinese and English proverbs negative use of the image of dogs account for the most part. There are also many proverbs to describe the neutral aspect of dogs. But the number of positive in English proverbs is a little higher than in Chinese proverbs.
