a puppy story
The stray straight to my heart
by Iza Deleanu
When I was in grade four, I was using a shortcut through my great grandmother's garden that ended in an industrial area.
Lots of stray animals were wandering around that area. My mom did not allow us to have a pet. One day, a small brown puppy followed me home. One look into those sweet eyes and I fell in love. I decided to keep it and hide it from my mom.
My mom came home, and the puppy ran out to greet her.
She picked him up and said to us "You can't keep him."
But we did. Petrache charmed his way into our lives and was our buddy for 20 years. My mom became the biggest fan of this bundle of joy.
