Hey Samuel, The opener of your speech was really strong with your personal anecdote of Stella, it caught my attention immediately as a dog owner and dog lover. I think it is a great idea to emotionally appeal to your audience with stories like Stella's, especially with the topic of dogs. However, you could appeal to that pathos more by also choosing better diction that will evoke emotions. For example, instead of euthanized you could've said killed. Overall, I look forward to see you develop your idea.
I think your idea to help educate college students on the financial and time commitment obligations necessary to own and take care of a pet is a noble cause. You would think that most kids in college would understand the undertaking of such a responsibility like taking care of another life. I think your program would have merit and interest from shelters, and could be used possibly as a requisite prior to students adopting pets.
