Unit3 The Rescued Puppy
Sammy was out for a walk in the woods when she came across a little puppy laying on the trail. Sammy bent down and the little dirty puppy opened its eyes. She could see that the small animal hadn't been eating proper meals and its skin was covered in cuts.
Sammy scooped up the creature and carried it home. Once home Sammy put the puppy straight into the bath. The puppy didn't like the water and as it was trying to get out of the sink, Sammy discovered the puppy was a girl. Finally, after the pup was cleaned and fed, she took her to the vet. The vet gave the tiny dog some medicine and told Sammy the pup would be fine.
Sammy wanted to keep the puppy but she couldn't because she was allergic to dogs. Sammy posted the puppy's picture on the Internet. Five days later a family came and took the puppy home. Sammy was sad to see her little friend go but she knew she was going to a good home.
