A True Dog Story
This is a true story.
My mother told it to me.
When Earl was a little baby, his father had a dog.
Earl used to run away from home.
One day he went down to the railroad tracks.
The dog saw him and followed.
Later, the dog walked ahead of Earl.
Earl did not know the way home.
So the dog showed him the way home.
Earl followed the dog and so found the way home again.
My Uncle’s Dog
My Uncle Frank was a soldier.
He had an army dog.
The dog’s name was Buster.
Buster learned how to do many things.
He knew how to mind quickly.
When Uncle told him to pick up a stick, he did it at once.
He would pick up a bat, too.
My uncle had the dog for a long time.
