I have always loved pets. When I was eight years old, my dad brought home a kitten. It was the cutest little thing. When it got older though, it got really big. It also started getting in trouble and scratching me.
My mom and dad made the decision to take the cat to the humane society. That experience made me really sad. After that, I wanted a dog. Later on, my mom brought home the cutest little dog. We became best friends. This is why I wrote this story-it was my way of coping with losing a pet. I hope this story will help other kids who have been through this same experience.
