It was a beautiful, sunny day.

So the family wanted a BBQ. . .

Cinnamon went everywhere with their daughter.

He never Left her

They did everything

Together

She was in the Garden playing with cinnamon

When her parents called her name . . .

Eager to eat she left cinnamon on

The ground and ran inside. . .

Now cinnamon would have run after her like a good dog If he was a real dog. . .

But he was just a toy, so he

In the dirt and watched her Leave. . .

About 45 minutes passed and the daughter came back

Calling cinnamons name, forgetting he couldn't respond.

But. . .

Even as a toy cinnamon barked back to her hoping she'd hear.

Then without warning, it started down pouring and her parents made her come inside.

She cried saying cinnamon was still out there. . .

They told her when it stops raining they can all look for cinnamon together. . .

The daughter reluctantly agreed and headed inside.

Cinnamon sat watching her go as the rain drops soaked into

His cotton, ruining his fur

The sun was setting and it was getting cold out,

But the rain hadn't let up at all. . .

So all night the little-stuffed Boxer sat in the lonely garden

drenched, cold, and afraid of what lurked in the shadows. . .

Sometime in the night the rain stopped

And the sun peaked over the Horizon

The daughter came sprinting out

Of the house and Looked everywhere for her Boxer. . .

In just a few minutes she

Was back at the garden

The moment her

Feet hit the dirt she say him

there.

Soaked to the bone and flat. . .

CINNAMON!

She cried out and sprinted to him. . .

Picked him up and brought him inside to d r y. . .

From then on she never placed or left cinnamon

Alone...
