Border Collie
My dog’s name was Aussie
she was a smart and beautiful Border Collie.
Aussie was black and white and also very strong.
She loved to chase sheep and cattle. Aussie was my best herding dog.
Until two days before her birthday she got lose at night while
everybody was sleeping. About 3:00 o’clock in the morning I heard
yelping outside so I went to my parents bedroom and woke my father up.
He took his riffle and quickly went outside with me.
I turned my flashlight on. Then this was the moment I was choked.
In front of me and my dad there was a huge male black bear
with my dog under it. The bear looked at me very madly then he
ran towards my dad so my dad shot him 3 times in the chest.
I came running to Aussie and put my head on her chest but the
only thing I heard where the last three heart beats.
The last thing I remember was that she licked my cheek,
with her small pink tongue.
I will always remember that last heart beat.
I hope she lives in peace in doggy heaven and she will never
suffer those painful moments of her last minutes.
Love,
Olivia Schabowicz
