I smiled and waved the owner and the dog goodbye. At that very moment I had an epiphany and ran up to my mom, who was on the porch and asked if we could get a dog. Unshockingly she said no.

Dozer All I see as I stretch my neck just enough for my eyes to peer out of the car door window, is the blur of the pavement morphing together with the trees and bushes that stretch far beyond the side of the road. When I turn my head to look back inside of the car, I first see my mom and dad. They are holding hands and smiling as my dad is driving and my mom is sitting beside him in the passenger seat. My brother and sister occupy the two seats directly behind them,and that leaves me,the youngest, in the back seat of our pearl white suburban that has years of filth spread all over it. I didn’t have a single clue where it was that we were going.…
My brother and I have been asking for a dog ever since I was a few years old. Itwas like a dream. Every Christmas, and every birthday we would have some hope.

Life sometimes becomes this one big, repetitive cycle; everyday seems to flow the same as the last. That is how my life was going last September. So when my mother walked into our kitchen and told me I had to go to confirmation classes, I answered my usual answer for everything, “Okay Mom”. Little did I know, these simple classes I would take for four months would forever change my outlook on the rest of my life. Classes soon started in mid-September.…
Then I knew that the day was finally going to come. Back and forth, my family was throwing out ideas of what puppy it should be, “What about a husky?” my dad said. We all thought that huskies would be a perfect pet until they were going through pictures of puppies being sold on the internet when all of the sudden they landed on a picture of some English bulldogs being sold.
