The Life of a Stray

How Did This Happen???

"GO AWAY!" said a man.

I ran away to the other side of the street where I always stayed. I have been a stray since I was little and it has always been hard to survive. You might be saying "How did all of this happen" or "How did you become a stray". So this is a flashback.

I once was a little puppy and I had a good life with my happy owners. I had food, water, shelter, and love. I even had toys and a big comfy bed. I loved my life back then. One day I saw my owners leave. That was the first time I saw them leave without me. I was scared and the only company I had was my shadow and an annoying fly that flew around me in circles. After about an hour after my owners left I heard the door opening. I was shivering with fright. Then I saw a little girl and a teenage boy come into the house. I was little so I couldn't bark that loud so I made little squeals. They came up to me and carefully pet me. I was so frightened that I even had the hiccups. The door was open because the kids forgot to close it. I was so scared that I didn't even know what was happening. I bolted out the door and ran to the farthest that I could. I ended up at a dump far away from my owners house. I then forgot which house was my owners and then forgot about them. They also probably forgot about me too.

That is how it all happened and how I ended up here. I regret everything that I did that day and then learned that my owners were just on vacation and their neighbors were the kids. Now this is my normal life and a very hard one.
