Our Adventurous Walk

By Arielle G


This morning we got up and went for our normal walk. We walked by a house (on the way to the park); they had two dogs. One looked like a big puppy and the other looked like Lassie. The puppy-like dog (that was huge and vicious) jumped on Nolan. Nolan was scared. I was hiding behind mom and pulling her shirt off. Mom says we were pulling her clothes off. Then the owner came out. He was getting ready to leave for work. Before he left he saw the dogs jumping on us and came and stopped them. He put them in his yard.

We walked the rest of the way to the park. While Mom walked around the park, we slid down the slide and swung on the swings. Then we started home.

When we got to the same house the puppy-dog got out of the yard. He started to follow us. Mom took the dog to its yard and rang the doorbell and knocked but no one answered. Nolan and I walked on the other side of the yard and said “no” sternly to the dog when he chased us. The dog followed us all the way home. By the time we got home we thought we might have to keep him. He wanted to come in to the house. Jared held the dog down while we went inside. Dad went for a run and took the dog to his house. The dog had broken out a piece of the fence and dad tied it up so that the dog will be there when the man comes home from work.

That was our morning walk.
