Nice dog

Today I saw a little dog lying on the side of the road and it looked hurt. I walked up to it and it, he I think, was crying. I think it got hit by a car. I told my mom and she said she would bring it to the doctor.

She put it in the back seat of the car, on a blanket, and we went into town to the vet something place. The doctor looked at the dog and then looked at his tag thingy. He sounded happy cuz a lady phoned him before and asked if anyone saw her dog.

The doctor was happy cuz he found the dog and he gave my a candy. Mom was happy too cuz she said i did a good thing when I told her about the dog on the road. I did a good dead.
