Summer of 1998
Dog
My dog Zack was the very 1st animal I saw when I was born.
He protected me
watched over me and was my best friend.
One day he became sick.
He had cancer in his brain.
Everything about his life was good
except that night when my dad came home without him.
He was dead. I would never see my beloved friend again.
I still think about him day and night.
He meant more to me than almost anything.
Sometimes I lay on my bed and cry.
I still remember that awful night
when my dad came home with tears in his eyes.
Zack was my best friend in the world before I had started school.
He would play with me for hours.
I wrote a story about him and it won 2nd place.
But in my heart Zack will always be 1st place.
