A Little Brown Dog

This week in class we read a really sad story called A Little Brown Dog. This story almost made me cry as I read how the little dog was first beaten by his soon to be owner and then abused by the little boys' dad. The puppy was so forgiving of his new family that it cost him his life on a very sad day. The little boys father happened to be an abusive drunk and he would kick the dog around the house like a rug. The day the poor puppy got killed the father had kicked it, beaten it, and then he through it out a five story high window.

As an avid animal lover this story broke my heart. At home I have had three cats, two frogs, fish, and the newest member to our little family, a bearded dragon named Godzilla until we can figure out if it's a boy or a girl.

Animals should not be treated like they are nothing. They love without being able to talk to or get to know you before you get them. They love you almost instantly because they want someone to love them back.

Having a pet is good for you in many ways. They help you learn responsibility, calm your nerves when you are angry, and just give you a companion if you live alone. I had to become very responsible when I got my first little kitty, named Summerville after the town I was born in but now we just called he Leeta. Even though I was just a baby when I got her Momma still had me try and feed her, although sometimes I would eat the food myself....but hey I was three I didn't know it tasted yucky. When I'm home alone Leeta will come sit with me on my bed and just purr and fall asleep because she doesn't want either of us to be alone.
