| My name is Summer and I am 14 years old and would like to share my story of the most wonderful dog ever, Gypsy. It all started about three months back when I was riding my horse Belle. The people's dogs next door started barking so I went to investigate. At first I couldn't see anything but as I neared the barking dogs, there crouched down in the grass was a black lab, about 8 months old. I got down off Belle and started calling to her, at first she was afraid, but soon she came. As I rubbed her and started talking to her, I could see her ribs showing. She was a drop off. I took her back to my grandma's house[That's where Belle stays. and asked her for some food, which she gladly gave me. When I went back to the poor stray dog and gave her the food, she ate it in alomost one bite. I gave her food till she wouldn't eat anymore. Then it was time for me to go home, I rubbed her goodbye and told her to stay here until I came back tomorrow. When I got to my grandma's house again the next day, she was there!
I was so happy, then I thought, I'm going to name her. So that's when I thought of Gypsy. Everyday after that, whenever I rode Belle, she followed, always. Even if it was a couple of miles. Sometimes I tried to put her up on Belle with me so she wouldn't get exhausted. But she would always jump down. One day when me and my grandma were about to go to her peach orchard. I called for my Gypsy. But she didn't come. That's when my Grandpa came up and said he had seen her get hit by a gravel truck and she was dead. I cried so much. I loved that dog and she loved me. Now whenever I ride Belle, It's not as fun without a lab running next to you. I will never forget her, never. And I hope she's okay wherever she is and I hope she knows I will always love her and keep her memories in my heart, forever.
