How my dog came to my house.

       In this story I will tell you, what happened with my dog (named Dino) and how I felt in those moments. He suffered so much during his life,because he had a bad owner, a skin infection and long treatments and so on, but now he is with me and I love him, because he is a wonderful dog and a good pet.

      How my dog came to my life? Well, one day my brother was searching for a dog, because his girlfriend wanted one, he realized that a neighbor was giving German Shepherd dogs, then, my brother bought him, and he took him to my parents house, because he wanted to see his girlfriend later. My brother decided to his take the dog to his girlfriend´s house. When his girlfriend saw the dog, she said that did not like this kind of dogs. As his girlfriend did not want the dog, my brother wanted to return the dog to previous owner, but we knew that he beat him, so I decided to keep the dog.

      When I took the dog to my house, my parents did not like him because my parents do not like dogs. However, I asked my parents if I could keep the dog and finally they accepted.

A week later, I noticed that my dog was infested with fleas, so immediately I took him to the vet. I remembered that the vet told me “I had never seen the dog like him”. The vet bathed him and gave medicine and special shampoo to control the fleas infestation.

Unfortunately, he got a skin infection, three weeks later, so I took him to other vet, and she told me that infection had been caused by the medicine that the other vet gave him. She treated him, but my puppy did not any relief, and what was worse, because was that whole body was bleeding, I was desperate because the days passed, but there were no answers and he continued bad, I was wondering what would happen.

      6 months later, finally he was well, I was happy again, So I played with him, he learned tricks like sit, down, stand, take things and barking. Always, I took him to hill "El Picacho" to do exercise because this kind of dogs require a lot of exercise.

Sometimes, I think that my dog is human because he is very intelligent, when I feel bad, he licks my face as if he were saying, "Don't worry I'm with you" he is so adorable because I enjoy really spending time with him, however always that he listened his previous owner he beginning to howl. Is good that he is not with this sir.

      Despite all that he lived, like diseases, abuse of the previous owner, his long recovery and so, I think I did correct thing because I did the possible for that he was fine. It was the best experience that ever happened to me, I felt and feel really good to give him a second chance and quality of life. Dogs are not everything in your life, but they make your life complete.

Reflection:

      This essay made me a little difficult because I think that I needed to learn more vocabulary, verbs and phrases that I can use, and think that is really a challenge for us to talk about ourselves and our experiences but, is good for us. And for the next I believe that I will study a lot of vocabulary for make a best essay.
