Margaret's Essay: Barney[]
This story is about a dog. His name was barney. His fur was a light brown. He was a cute little guy. He was a small dog-never grew real big. The people tat owned him neglected him. The owner had a jewelry store-had to go to the store every day. Her husband was a invalid. Stayed home alone all day. Barney roamed all over the neighborhood. It was in Hamburg-a wooded area-real pretty. The houses were far apart. Everybody knew him My grandson had to walk a little way to get the school bus. One day in the winter, he came home from school, it was real cold & Barney was out roaming. So when my grandson came from school, nobody was home, so he brought Barney in the house. Barney laid down in front of the fireplace. Then my grandson cooked some hot dogs for himself & shared them with Barney. From then on he lived there. His owner knew it. They couldn’t care less. At first my grandson used to bring him home to his house, but it followed him home. When he went to school, he used to go to the bus with him. After school, he was by the bus waiting for my grandson. (Note following story reminding Margaret to add a part about a dog catcher to her essay).
