The Moment

"Hoooooonk!" The cars were honking like never before. Why I was looking out the window, my brother was eating a fruit roll up. I could smell the fruityness. It made me starving. We were just coming from church. I asked, "Where are we going?" I had no idea where we were going. All I knew was we weren't by home. "It's a surprise," my mother said eargly. I was eager too, so I rolled down the window so I could feel the breeze. I heard a cling of the head phones as my brother dropped them on the floor. I junped in surprise.

"Cling, cling!" The doors made the loudest noise when we walked in. I shouted, "No way!" I couldn't veleive that we were at the Animal Rescue League. My parents said we weren't getting a dog, but I thought that maybe thay would change there minds. "Know we are here to look so don't fall in love with a puppy," he soaid in a weird voice. The place was very clean. You would think that with all the animals it would be really dirty. There was not a lot of people like there usually is. I could in the back room a lot of whining. It made me feel really sad. I couldn't bare it!

We started walking back to the room. It was sad looking at the innocent dogs. "Can we please get one," my brother whined. He is only four and really would die for a dog. We started walking. I could smell shampoo in the back from the dogs. The dogs were yelping. I felt so bad for them. It was like they were saying,"Help! Please!"

"O my goodness! he is so cute," I yelled excitedly. I could here his claws scraping against the tile floor. He was black and white. he was pretty small. And he had the cutest face! He had a little tennis ball in his mouth and it was covered in slobber. The dog loved to lick nonstop. It felt really weird to me. When I stroked the dog I could feel is ribs. He was really skinny. I wanted him so bad. I could not stop stroking him. My parents could not say no. So my dad said excitedly, "We can get him!" I started bowling. I could taste victory. And that's how I got my dog Chester!
