How I died

Ben

Ben

This is a dog named Ben. He was very sweet and friendly. Ben had a good owner who was a guy named Jack. Jake was a single guy that lived in a pretty nice house and he had a new girlfriend named Stella. Stella didn't like dogs at all and she tried to convince Jack to give Ben away but Jack always said, "No, I took in the poor guy when he was just a puppy lost on the streets. I can't give him away." This made Ben happy because he knew he could always trust Jack. One night Stella brought over her dad's new gun to show Jack because Jack was kind of into guns and he was thinking about taking up hunting. But Stella also brought over some expensive Vodka and she got Jack as drunk as she could and put the gun in Jack's hands. She told him to shoot the dog for practice for hunting. Jack looked at the gun then at Ben. Ben knew something was up so he trotted over to Jack and rested his head on Jacks knee and looked up at him with his big loving brown eyes. Jack smiled and said, "Aww look at the puppy!" and dropped the gun on the floor. Stella was annoyed but pretended to go along with it. She had him drink a little more until he passed out on the floor. Ben curled up next to Jake like a good doggie. Stella kicked Ben until he got up and moved. Then she pointed the gun at Ben and shot. She missed and Ben started barking and growling at her. She fumbled with the gun and Ben got between her and Jack. Jack woke up then and saw what was going on. Stella had the gun reloaded and was pointing it at Ben. Jack told her to stop and he tried to take the gun from her. In the confusion the gun went off and hit Ben in the heart. Jack never forgave himself and instantly dumped Stella.

A few years later you moved into that house. Jack had left because he couldn't stand to live in the house that he killed his best friend in. Ben was sitting on the front porch when you first arrived at the house. Ben saw you and something about you just reminded him of his old owner Jack. He wagged his tail and followed you around the house. When ever you are sad or lonely Ben is sitting right beside you and he licks away your tears.
