One time, when I was like... 11, my mom took me to this shelter and we were looking at dogs and stuff. So we saw this dog that was really cute, he was still a puppy. He was a doberman, golden retriever mix. We took him into the little room where they let you play with the dog for a little bit, and he was so scared to even come near us but eventually warmed up and let us pet him. After like 15 minutes of petting him, my mom asked me if I wanted him. I told her yeah and she told me that we could get him if we had the money. So then I got really sad. We eventually left the shelter and I was just heartbroken for the rest of the day and the day after. All day at school that day I was so sad and didn't talk to any of my friends. My mom was a little late for picking me up so I just assumed it was traffic or whatever. We got home and I was still in a sour mood. I opened my bedroom door cause I wanted to lay down for a while to make myself feel better. And when I opened the door, although it scared the shizz out of me, the puppy ran out of my room and I nearly exploded with happiness. We named him Red cause in the sunlight, his fur looked red. That was one of the happiest days of my life x3
