Lost Dog

by Jamie

It was about six months ago when I was helping my Dad clean the garage out because we were getting ready to move, from our old house in Elk Grove, CA .

When we were cleaning the garage out a little dog walked in our garage and crinkled his muddy little snout and started barking, "Woof! Woof!"

A loud bark it was. I said, "Dad there's a strange dog in our garage eating our cat, O. J's food."

My Dad walked out asking what the dog looked like. I replied" The dog was black with cute little crop ears and a crop tail. My Dad walked out into the garage carrying a little bottle of pepper spray, and said, " I thought you meant it was a big dog."

I said " No, its not even bigger than our cat." So my dad told me to give the little mini Doberman Pincher some food and water. After I gave it some it some food and water the little dog went away. The next day the little dog come back and stayed. So for a month we took care of him and we named him Micro. Everyday we checked the paper for any one who had lost a in Doberman Pincher. Everyday we checked the paper to see if anyone claimed the mini Doberman Pincher, but no one claimed him. So we kept checking the paper, but there was nothing about a mini Doberman Pincher. So then we asked people around our neighborhood if they ever saw this dog before, but no one had ever seen the dog before.

My sister then came over carrying a lot of her things when she walked in the door, she saw the dog and dropped everything she was carrying to go pet the dog. Then she took the dog for a walk around the block. The next day we put up signs and ads in the paper, but still no one claimed him.

So months passed that we took care of the little doggy. My Dad then said happily, "Well I guess we can keep the little miniature black dog. " So now he lives with us happily ever after and he is very happy that he has a good home. He is now homely and his name is Micro! Now after we moved here Micro ran away and we have not seen him since we moved here. He probably got eaten by a coyote, or a bear.
