My owner, Ethan, has been gone for 2 years now. He is 19, and he is my favorite. He's like the mother I never had. I never met my mother, but he was like one to me. He found me when I was a pup, and just like that, he loved me. He went off somewhere with this woman, I didn't like her smell. Ethan likes her, though. I can tell because he always smiles when she's around. Joy and Will seemed upset when Ethan left, I was upset, too. It's a rainy day and will have gone away too. Will is Ethans dad, he had white fur like me and he was always in a good mood. One day, he collapsed on the floor, and these people gave and took him away. He's been gone for 2 weeks, and every time I take a walk, I can smell him. Joy, Ethan mom is always sad now she also has white fur. I decided to look for Ethan and will on my own, Joy has been taken away one day, I don't know where, though. I snuck out to the backyard and ran where I smelled Will. He was like family to me, and he's the only one I still smell other than Joy. I ran and ran until I went into this garden with rocks. They were odd shaped and had these drawing I had never seen before. I tracked the smell, and I could smell Joy and Will. They were under the dirt. I am now confused at this point because they were above the dirt before. Then I realized that they weren't moving anymore and they were stuck under the dirt, with big rocks on top of them. I realized that I could never see them again. A man came up to me and started to pet me. I like Pats, but at this moment, I felt something I hadn't felt since you left. I felt like I could break any moment. I decided the next day to go find you. I ran into the street many times, trying to find your smell since you liked to drive. I swam in lakes since you and that girl used to swim in here. I went everywhere you ever took me but I couldn't find you. I started feeling tired and weaker. I started eating leftovers that were once good but now gross. I realized that I was skinner and older than before. The last place I went was to these homes you and that lady took me to. You were upset about something I can't quite remember. The lady calmed you down, and you started rubbing my head. A week later, you left. I walked inside the gates as fast as I could. Then it hit me, your smell. The lady I could also smell her, too. I also smelled a new smell, a young human. I ran as fast as I could to where I smelled you. There you were, after 2 years I finally found you. I am so happy I found you, but you are crying. You took me and fed me and hugged me. Your lady friend started yelling at you, I couldn't hear anything, I haven't heard anything for a year now. I can barely see out of my eye. I saw the small human that came along in your story. It was small and cute. Suddenly, I fell asleep and woke up on a table. There is a white coat guy, I saw one like him before. He has a needle. Why does he have a needle? I feel a poke in the side of me. It hurts for a bit but then stops. I feel sleepy Ethan, why are you so burly now. I wish I could hear again, I wish you could've called me a good boy. I wish I didn't leave Joy and Will, I wish I noticed their age. I wish I didn't eat those left overs, I wish I had looked for you when you left. I regret so many things, but all I feel now is nothing but your tears on my fur. You're holding my paw tight, I guess this is where good dogs go, huh? I'm a good dog, right Ethan? Such....a good....dog....
Yeah, that's me, Niko, the good dog.
