Explanation:
I actually agree with the other person - I believe the correct answer is: <span>Without proper hygiene, dogs can become matted and sick, just the same as any human being.
The author's claim is that Americans should start taking better care of their dogs, by washing and grooming them more regularly. The reason why they should do that is stated in the sentence I would choose as the correct answer.
</span>
I think this is coming from the Henry Ford quote, which is "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right."
This quote basically means that what you think you can do is all in your mind and how you perceive yourself. if you think you can do something, then you'll be able to do it. If you think you can't do something, then you won't be able to, because you have already given up in your mind.
Does that make sense?

Answer:
We can apply it to our own lives because we've all done mistakes and bad things in our lives but we can change our ways for the better like how instead of becoming a greaser Johnny believes that Ponyboy can become good in the world. It kinda shows how in life some people have done bad things but if they change their ways starting now they can still be part of the good in the world. I hope this helps :))
