"My dog Tiny"


When I was in grade four, a classmate of mine gave me a puppy. This puppy was very cute. It was small when I first saw it that’s why I named it Tiny. The puppy was a girl. Her fur is like that of a tiger. And her ears make her wild.

I took good care of this puppy. In fact, she is still living with me. I fed her always and let her drink milk. There were also times that I let her sleep in my room. I really took good care of her until she became bigger and became a mother. I was there during her first time of producing puppies. I can still remember what happened that time. It was early in the morning and I was looking for her because she was nowhere to be found. But then, in our empty pig pen, I saw her head looking outside the hole of the wall. I immediately went near her and shockingly, I saw seven cute puppies. Tiny takes good care of her puppies. In fact, she gets mad when our other animals go near her puppies. She also let her puppies drink milk even during the time when they already have teeth. Now, it is her fifth time of producing puppies. But still, she is not tired of taking care of her puppies. Tiny is a very loving mother. She makes sure that her puppies are secured and she leaves the others if one puppy is missing. She doesn’t let other animals go near her puppies but she allows humans to go near because she trusts humans.

Aside from being a good mother to her puppies, Tiny also has been a great help to us in protecting our house from robbers. Almost all our neighbors have been robbed but us, there were only attempts but these attempts were hindered by our guard dog, Tiny. She really helped in barking those strangers passing by our house. But she never did bit a single person. She only barks on them.

Tiny has also been helpful in killing the rats in our house. She has a good sense of smell. She immediately knows if there are rats hiding nearby and she will look for them and will never stop unless she catches them. Tiny has killed a lot of rats already and the rats that she killed are really enormous rats.

Tiny is a very brave dog! She is not afraid of anything. She is not afraid to die. In fact, there were already so many instances where she almost died because of fighting with other dogs but still she continues on fighting with them. There was also a time when she was hit by a car but it was not that hard. She was still able to walk after that but you can see in her look that she is hurt. But, she really is not afraid to die because today, he continues to cross the busy streets and it seems like she is playing with the cars.

Tiny was indeed a great help to us. She also inspired me in many ways. But now, I have a really big problem. We need to get rid of her because we will transfer to another house and no dogs are allowed in that house and it will be very hard for me to let go of her because she’s already part of my life and she was with me as I walked this world through the years.
