What is the claim?

Imagine dipping a hot chicken nugget into your favorite sauce and devouring it on a difficult day. Everyone could agree that chicken nuggets are delicious, but the type of chicken nugget that is being consumed makes a huge difference. Wendy's has the best chicken nuggets.

Firstly, Wendy's chicken nuggets are the best because they are seasoned very well. According to an article written by Joe Schmo, "Wendy's chicken nuggets are seasoned with paprika, pepper, rosemary, and salt." Wendy's chicken nuggets are obviously made with fantastic, flavorful, ingredients.

Some may think that McDonald's has the superior nugget because of their crispy crust; however, Wendy's actually has crispier nuggets because they make each piece of chicken to order, so there are no old, stale chicken nuggets like one may find at McDonald's's.

Does the author of this paragraph have ethos? How do you know?

Imagine this: a small dog sits in a dark, cold garage. His hair is matted and dirty; he is skinny and weak from going days without food. There is no water for him to drink, no person to give him love, and no blanket to keep him warm at night. While this might be a hard scenario to imagine, it is not an uncommon one in America today. According to the Humane Society of the United States, nearly 1,000,000 animals are abused or die from abuse every year. As a veterinarian with 30 years of experience, I have seen how even one incident of abuse can affect an animal for the rest of its life.3 As a society, we need to be more aware of this terrible problem and address this issue before it gets worse.

They are a veterinarian, so they are an expert when talking about animals.
