During the summer vacations, I would volunteer at the vets, so id seen alot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog id ever seen. Thin curly hair barly covered her sausage shaped body. Her bugged out eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail look like a rats tail.
She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep beause her owners didnt want her anymore. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though No one should judge her by her looks i thought. So the vet sprayed her and gave her all the shots necessery. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper: "funny looking dog well behaved needs loving family."
When a young man called i warned him that minnie was strange looking.
The boy on the phone that his grandfather's 16 yearold dog just died. They wanted minnie no matter what. I gave minnie a bath and fluffed up what was left of her scraggly hair.
Then we waited for them to arrive.
At last an old car drove up in front of the vets. Two kids raced to the door. They scooped Minnie into their arms and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie.
Inside the car the grandfather cradled Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked his face. Her rat tail wagged around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body. It was love at first lick. i was thankful minnie found a good home! |
