My Best Dog Duke

He is a very intelligent and beautiful dog who always helps me. One day when I was playing outside, I found him, in very serious condition.

I told my mother that there was a dog that was suffering from some serious disease. My mother told me to go home and call the dog doctor to help the dog. I called the doctor and told him that a dog was very ill, to please help him.

The doctor asked if he was mine. I said yes because I knew that if I told him that this was an "awara" dog he would never treat him and tell my mother and me to leave him alone. That's how I save her life.

That day, my mother asked me if I wanted to live with the dog. I said yes, I always wanted to live with a dog. That my family decided his name should be Duke.

He lived with us for a year. He loved our family very much and we all loved him. He always protected our house very nicely. But now he is gone. He died in a car accident.

Thank you, Duke
