SYNOPSIS

A little beagle was born in a pet store. A

couple one day bought him. He at first felt

really happy with his new family. However,

everything changed afterward.

Chapter 1 Meet

It was a warm spring day. I had nothing to

do except staying in my cage in the pet store.

Since I was born, I had stayed in that cage for

three weeks alone. Many people had come

and watched me, and they tapped the glass

with their fingers. I was sometimes scared by

their tapping and laughter.

“Honey, don’t open your eyes,”a man said

leading a woman into the store.

“OK. What do you want to do?” she said

keeping her eyes closed.

7

They came in front of me.

“My dear, you can open your eyes now.”

“Oh! It’s cute. This is the surprise you

wanted to give me?”

“Yes baby, do you like it?”

“Sure!! I always wanted a puppy,” giving

him a kiss.

These were my my new owners who

called themselves “Daddy” and “Mommy”.

Then, they brought me to Mommy’s apartment.

As soon as they put me down, I ran around

crazily, and sniffed everywhere. I was so

8

excited because it was the first time I came to

a new environment. It was a cozy small

apartment with light yellow walls and a clean

white floor. They smiled and watched me

running and jumping.

“Honey, give it a name,” Sean said.

“Hmmm, how about Mikey?”

“Of course, as long as you like it.”

“Thank you for giving me such a cute

puppy.”

“No problem, “ he replied gaving Carol a

kiss. ”I need to go now. I’ll come by tomorrow.”

9

“OK. See you tomorrow,” she smiled and

said.

10

Chapter 2 Happiness

“Come here Mikey! You must be hungry.

Mummy bought you a can of wonderful meat.”

She took out a can of Hill’s dog food, and

poured it into an iron bowl. It was the most

delicious meal I had ever had since I was born.

When I was in the store, I could only have

unpalatable dry food. After finishing the meal,

she put me onto a mat in her room.

“Mikey, here’s your bed.”

I sniffed then ran away.

“Oh! Mikey,” she screamed from the living

11

room, “You can’t pee here!”

I ran out and saw that she stepping in my

urine.

“I’m sorry Mummy. I didn’t know I coulding

pee here,” I thought, looking at her pathetically.

“Alright, that’s my fault that I didn’t tell you

where to pee,” Carol sighed.

She cleaned up the urine on the floor and

then brought me to the balcony.

“My baby Milkey,” pointing at a piece of

newspaper on the floor. “You need to do

excretion here. Ok?”

12

“Woof,” I responded.

“I’ll remember it, Mommy,” I thought.

“Good boy!” Carol holding and kissing me.

Next day, Daddy came early.

“Hey baby, let’s take Mikey to a park. I

bought some toys for him,” Daddy said.

“That sounds great,” Carol turning to me.

“Do you want to have fun in the park?”

“Park? I’ve never been there before,” I

thought. Even though I did not know where the

park was, I was still excited about going.

“Woof woof…” I wagged my tail hard.

13

“OK OK, I know you want to go,” she said.

“It seems that Mikey is willing to go. Let’s go,

Sean.”

We had lots of fun in the park. They threw

a ball, and I fetched it, bringing it back, and we

also ran a race. That spring, we went to that

park almost every day, and sometimes we

even went to the beach.

“Mikey, you peed in the living room again,”

Carol said. “Why did you never pee in the right

place? And you also chewed my shoes?”

“Woo…” I dropped my ears and tail.

14

“Don’t do this anymore, OK?” She shook

her head and fondled my head.

Even though I usually did something she

did not like, she never really got mad, and she

always tolerated my mistake.

Several months later, it was the middle of

the summer. One night, Mommy called me in a

miserable tone.

“Mikey… promise me you will never leave

me.” Tears wept from her eyes.

At that time she was quarrelling with

Daddy, and he even wanted to break up with

15

her. I looked at her and licked her tears away.

“Of course I won’t leave you alone,

Mommy. I love you so much, and I can’t live

without you, ” I thought.

She smiled and pressed me close. At this

moment I was the only one who could comfort

her and give her support.

The next weekend, she rushed in the

house and hugged me.

“Mikey, Daddy proposed. We are going to

get married next month and we can live

together soon.” She showed me a ring and

16

anounced this news cheerfully.

I was sincerely delighted with this

information because it was the first time I saw

her face shining. Also, I believed our life would

be happily than ever.

17

Chapter 3 Changes

The next fall, one year has past since

Daddy and Mommy have gotten married.

“Come here Baby, come to Mommy,” She

was calling her child.

Since their child was born, I have large

been ignored. This title also did not belong to

me anymore.

“Woo…Woo…Woo…” When they were

going out, I shook my tail by the door, trying to

let them know I wanted to go out as well. I had

not gone outside for a couple months.

18

“Good boy stay at home. We will take you

out next time.” They always said this, but never

fulfilled their promises.

“Stop, Mikey, leave the baby alone”

Mommy shouted at me while I tried to lick him

and play with him.” It’s dirty and you may hurt

him.”

I was then banished to the balcony and I

could only see them when they gave me the

dry dog food in the evening. The only other

connection was the sound they made through

the other side of the windows.

19

December, according to the weather

report, it was the coldest winter in two years.

“…Are you sure you’re going to do this?”

Mommy said slowly.

“What else we can do? We can’t bring him

with us. Rule is Rule,” Daddy said.

“But... I’m afraid that he could not be fine

without us, and I’m gonna miss him,” Carol

said sadly.

“So? You have a better idea?”

she was silent.

20

“Trust me, he will be accepted by a better

family.”

21

Chapter 4 Faithfully I Love You

Daddy opened the door of the balcony.

“Woof-woof” I barked excitedly because

he almost never came to see me in the

morning.

“Hey, boy. You wanna have a car ride?”

He was taking my chain.

“Wooooof !” I was extremely excited

because I had stayed home for so long.

In the car, I streched my head out of the

window, struchkout my tongue, and enjoyed

the fresh air. It was one week before Chritsmas,

22

and people started decorating their house and

neighborhood. Everything was permeated by

an atmosphere of peace and cheerfulness.

Next, we passed the park we used to play ball

together and the tree under which I used to

take a nap. All those sweet and wonderful

memories were recalled. I hoped we could

have the quality time together like we had had

before.

Later, we arrived at a unfamiliar building.

As I got out from the car, I found there is full of

the atmosphere of fear and death. After filling

23

out the forms, Daddy gave me to the people

there.

“I’m sorry. They will find a new home for

you. Don’t worry,” he said,leaving without a

look.

In the following days, I kept waiting for

your return. Whenever there was anyone who

went past my cage, I hoped that I was you. I

could not eat anything because I missed you,

Mommy and the baby so much. Today is

Christmas, and is the day I am going to leave

you forever.

24

Daddy and Mommy, I really want you to

know that I don’t hate you. I regard you as my

family since you brought me back from the pet

store. All I want is to stay with you, to share

everything, and to give you support. Finally, I

need to appologize to you, Mommy. I broke my

promise. I said I would be with you forever, but

I can’t. I love you faithfully.

The End
