The past four days have been lonely here. All of my brothers and sisters have been sold and are gone to live in nice warm houses. How nice it was when we were all together. We would get up early to see if our food dish had been filled and if it wasn’t we would bark and yowl until someone came down and filled it, After we ate, we would sneak into the chicken coop and chase the chick.

I was sure that they were going to take me to their home. Hi, I'm Sumo a German Shep- herd. I was born just ten and a half weeks ago on a farm. I had four sisters and three brothers.

I saw the lady and the little girl walk over to the owners of the pound and My, "We would like that German Shepherd please," and pointed right at me, Wow, I thought, I was r1ttally going to have a home. The owner opened up the cage door and I jumped out. I was free at last! The owner picked me up and gently stroked my back while the lady filled out a check. Then the owner set me down and went into the storage room and brought out a leash which was then hooked on ens until someone came in and yelled at us and gave us each a swat. Then we would run and play in the raeld until we got hungry and went in for supper.

It had white carpet- ing, a round coffee table in the centre of the room and a brown leather sofa. I felt like lying down on the carpet and having a nice long nap but I thought to myself, "You must investigate the whole house first." I walked until I entered the dining room.
