Chester was a Dalmatian that was abandoned when I was a young kid. His owner had left him in his backyard because the house was being foreclosed. I often saw Chester around the neighborhood while his owner walked him. I always thought he was a pretty dog. He always walked with proudness. One day I saw the owner pack everything up and leave the house. But Chester did not go with him. I followed my doggy instincts and went over to the house and by my surprise I hear whimpering coming from the backyard. There was Chester left out to die in his backyard. There was a leash outside and food and water bowls. I picked up the leash and all the stuff and took it to my house. I told my parents what I had saw. I promised them l would look after him. I always had wanted a dog and my parents let me keep him and he was my best friend for four years. Until we had to put him down due to bad pains. I still love him and think about him and hope to meet him at the rainbow bridges soon.
