The Boy

Fred was walking back from school one day when he heard a strange noise from the bush, he left his bag on the side of the road and made his way into the bush. Laying there bleeding was a dog, her long hair was plated down with blood. Who could have done this Fred thought, there was no one around so he lifted the dog by himself being very careful because he could see how much pain she was in. He left his bag and ran to the nearest building, he ran into the shop holding the dying dog. “What happened Fred” the shopkeeper said in a worried glance, Fred was a regular in the local village shop. “I did nothing, I swear, I found her like this please help her”. We’ll see what we can do,” we carried the dog to the living room and layed her down on the carpet. “Fred go get the bottle of disinfectant and some bandages!!” Fred ran to the bathroom and opened the cabinet, snatched the disinfected and badges. He arrived back in the living room with the medical equipment, he glanced at the dog and started crying, the dog was a horrible sight. He felt sorry for the poor dog. The dog regained her former health in the next few days, Fred couldn’t find the carer for the beautiful dog so she stayed with him.
