Thomas and Charlie
One day Thomas heard that
his cousin was selling chocolate lab puppies.
Thomas was lonely, because he moved to a new place and didn’t have any
friends. So Thomas went to his cousin’s
to get a dog.
There were a lot of puppies. Thomas chose a
cute brown puppy that was jumping and licking Thomas’ legs. He named the puppy Charlie.
Thomas wanted to get some
toys, dog food, dog bed, leash, and collar for Charlie. They drove to Dog
World. Thomas held Charlie in the store.
People were petting and kissing Charlie’s neck. All of a sudden, Charlie
started barking and jumped out of Thomas’ arms. Thomas tried to grab him.
Charlie ran faster. Thomas got to the aisle with dog bones and saw Charlie
running in circles around a German short haired pointer named Rufus. Thomas
walked over and petted both dogs on the head. He told Charlie, “Time to go.” Then
he bent down and picked up Charlie and carried him to find some toys.
Rufus followed them because
he wanted to play. Thomas put Charlie down and the two dogs played tug of war
with a squeaky hamburger.
The owner of Dog World came
over from the cash registers to see what all the squeaking was. He saw Charlie
and Rufus playing tug of war. “You can come back here any time and play with Rufus,”
said the shop keeper.
Thomas said to himself, “What
a great day with my new puppy. I am so glad that Charlie made a friend!”
