Kitten the Homeless Dog The sound of a car screeching
could be heard throughout the town as a tractor trailer came to a halt in
front of a homeless dog. The dog
stayed put in front of the monstrous truck, with its legs trembling. Soon the dog sped off into the woods. As he was wandering through the
wood he found a clearing where an old shack just sat. The dog walked up the stairs in
front of the rotted door. An old
woman came barging through the front door and hit the dog. Then her husband came out and yelled
at her. When he turned around he
saw the dog whimper. Guy took the
dog inside to take care of him. When Guy was done bathing the
dog, he named him Kitten, mainly because he had always wanted a cat. Guy loved every bit of Kitten. He was thinking that when his wife
Helga came home she’d kick Kitten out of the house. Guy had to hide Kitten before Helga
came home. “Why did I marry
that six fingered women?” he asked himself. So Guy hid Kitten in the toy box he
still had from when his child was young.
When Helga came home she smelled a dog. She asked Guy if there was a
dog in the house. He lied. But Guy said no in a very
suspicious voice. Helga started
to run around the house looking for the dog like a maniac. When Helga stopped looking for Kitten,
Guy started to tell the truth to Helga. Guy told Helga about the dog and
all the other things. Helga called animal
control, and it came in five minutes.
When they took Kitten away the people could still hear him whine. At the animal control center
they put him up for adoption. At
first Kitten was mad that he wasn’t with Guy. An old woman bought a bull dog and the
bull dog was happy. Then Kitten
wanted to be adopted by someone. A couple of days later he was
adopted by a big family named the Browns. On the way home the bunch
started to yell. Kitten
didn’t like the loud noises.
While they were screaming they heard Kitten whining and one of them
said he was trying to talk. And they all started to
laugh. All Kitten
could think about was being back with Guy. Kitten thought he would live a long
life with this group of people. Kitten finally got home after a
long boring ride listening to screaming. That night the Browns had him
sleep on the couch. In the
morning the family had pancakes for breakfast, and Kitten did as well because
they didn’t have any food for him yet. During breakfast they had a
conversation about what they were going to name the dog. The conversation went on for about an
hour. Finally they found a name
for the dog, John Brown. From then on every Sunday the
Browns would play with John. After they played around they went to get food
and a bed for John. That night John slept on his new
comfy bed. In the morning only one animal
wasn’t awake. John slept
soundly. At the breakfast table Mr. and
Mrs. Brown were thinking where John could be. Everyone went looking for him. When Mr. Brown found John in his bed
in the basement he yelled to everyone.
It was eleven o’clock and everyone was starving from not eating
for over twelve hours. Mrs. Brown
yelled for everybody to head upstairs for bacon and eggs. It was like a stampede. At breakfast they were all
laughing. John now knew that he
was part of a family. That day
there was a surprise for John.
The doorbell rang and everyone went running to the door. It was Guy, coming for a visit. John
ran and jumped right into his hands. |
