 Writing Write about a time when your pet did something funny or unusual. One day my dog, Fred, ran away from home. Fred is a mischievous creature who is always looking for a good time. Fred never listens and has a ball wherever he goes! I was so upset about Fred running away that I put posters up all around our neighborhood. I put a picture of Fred and our telephone number, in case someone found him. As I was riding my bike down a street my mom and dad never let me go down, I saw a flash of yellow run by me. I stopped my bike and suddenly Fred appeared out of nowhere! He led me to a spot in the middle of the woods and there laying under a tree was a mommy and her beautiful puppies:).

My dog Sam is a lab. He loves to chase squirrels and mice. One day when I went to play with Sam, I found a dead mouse on our doorstep. Sam had caught the mouse and left left it for us as a gift. Gross! (C.Bowman)

My dog, Anna B., likes to dig holes and wander the neighborhood. On Thanksgiving she got out of our backyard and ran away. My husband and I searched for her everywhere but she was no where to be found. We were sad but did not know where else to look. Two days later my husband was driving to get dinner when he spotted Anna B. following some kids down the busy street across the street from our neighborhood. He got Anna B. and brought her home. She was a hungry but was happy to be home. (abetbeze-Ansley Betbeze)

My dog's name is Zeus and he is a pit. He loves to play football and basketball with me. One day my friends, me, and Zeus were playing football and I got tackled by one of my friends. I guess Zeus didn't like that, because after I got tackled he bit my friend on his leg. Now that was funny! (RJackson)
