Tales of Rescued Dogs

They told me that they raised and rescued greyhounds and would like to have MariGold. My parents and I (reluctantly) agreed to let them take her home.

The next day I went outside and there she was! She had run away from them and had come back to me. I was so surprised to see her but when I told my parents that she had come back they made me take her back to my friends house. I was very sad that I had to do this but I had no choice.

When I got there his Grandfather(who lived with them) told me that morning when he went to get the mail she bolted out the door and ran as fast as she could. He thought that she was gone and wouldn't be coming back(we didn't know at the time how right he was).

I will try to shorten the story: MariGold continued to run from them and back to me for the next couple of days, until my parents and my friend's parents saw that there was no keeping her away from me. They agreed to let me have her.

This is not quite the end of the story yet! She continued to she her loyalty to me by following the car as far as she could when I went to school in the morning and whenever I went to the store, or anywhere for that matter! Wherever I was you saw MariGold, she was my shadow and protector. I think that she knew I had saved her life and was very thankful. But I am now 19 years old and she is 12 and we have been inseparable ever since that first day we saw each other! I hope to spend a couple more happy years with my beloved old friend.
