A boy named Tom is a unique kid. Dogs have been his biggest love ever since he was a child. It became clear when he was only two years old. He would love to act like a dog all day. He barked and growled a lot, and sometimes he walked around the house on all fours.He was outside and wanted to play with every dog he saw. It was clear right away that they were going to get a puppy.He finally got a dog. His parents brought in a female dog called Lynn. Tom was feeling great.
It was quiet on the street curb where this little boy was sitting when all of a sudden, a big dog walked across him. He started screaming as loud as he could because he was a little shocked!Just what could have made him scream and be so shocked? All because Lynn got lost out of the blue. How could their beloved pet have been hurt? Tom was in a lot of pain because his heart had been broken. Lynn likely jumped on the table and ran through the open kitchen window because her parents forgot to close it.
The puppy couldn’t get back inside because the window was too high. They checked to see how likely it was that Lynn would come home by herself. Since the window was only 1.5 feet above the ground, it couldn’t have been through it. That’s too high for a young dog. Then they chose to leave the back door open all day and night. Still, Lynn had not been seen after five days. Not only was the boy crying, but so were his parents.
Behind their house, the woods went on for more than 50 miles! They looked for more than a month with their friends. Lynn was gone, though. They all slowly came to terms with the fact that they probably would never see her again. The parents had to tell their son the bad news: “Darling. Lynn was nowhere to be found, even though Mom and Dad looked everywhere. We’re really sorry, and we hope you’ll forgive us. You can also pick out a new puppy from the pet store or the rescue if you want to.
Tom didn’t care about the new dog. He said he would never get another dog because Lynn was his best friend. He said he would have missed another puppy if it had gone missing too. Tom’s sobs went on for more than 10 minutes. Tom wasn’t the same kid. There was no way for him to get in touch with anyone outside of his room. It looked like he no longer loved dogs. They hoped it was just a phase that would go away quickly, but it wasn’t going to happen. Over time, it got worse.
At school, the symptoms started to show. Tom didn’t want to go to school. He was mean to his teachers a lot of the time and made things hard for his students. Tom went from being a happy, smiling kid to a mean, angry monster. This week, he was kicked out of class four times. His parents had to talk to the director again because it got too bad. Tom stayed home and has been learning ever since. He was making too much noise in class, and his teachers were worried that it would hurt his future as well as bother other students.
He had trouble as an adult if he didn’t have friends as a kid, his teacher said. Being at home, where he is safe, is better for Tom. We hope that being back in a place he knows will change his behavior so that he can go back to school quickly. It hasn’t helped much to stay home, though. The mother of the boy was about to lose it. His eyes were fixed on the window one wet afternoon.
“I really miss Lynn.” Is she doing okay?” It’s been two years since Tom’s beloved dog ran away, but he was still crushed with grief. People who lost him had thought that time would help them get over it, but it was clear that it hadn’t. The boy’s mom tried to comfort him by telling him a nice, happy story, but it didn’t make much sense. Tom sat on the ground outside the front door with his head down.
A big brown dog came across the street and stopped in front of the boy who was crying. The dog barked twice and watched Tom with its tongue out. The next time he looked at it, it was after a few minutes. He thought of cuddling up by the fireplace and running through the sprinklers in the garden when he saw the four-legged giant’s glassy eyes. He knew a lot about the dog. Lynn it was!!!!
Tom rushed over to his friend and put his arms around her neck tight. Lynn licked his lips and then went to the edge of the forest. Tom went into the woods to find Lynn. He briefly lost sight of her but quickly caught sight of her again when he heard his friend barking. He finally saw it… Lynn turned into an adult dog and had a puppy. There were three cute, soft puppies in the ditch between their yard and the woods. Tom called his parents while taking Lynn and her kids home.
Also, they were thrilled to find Lynn and chose to take the little dogs home. Tom is now as good as new. He and his friend Lynn got along great again, and they no longer had any bad feelings toward each other. He turned back into the same happy boy he was before. He was able to go back to school after a few weeks. It’s going really well for her now. He does well in school and has a small group of close friends.
Almost every day, they go see him. They do want to see Tom, but they also want to play with Lynn and her puppies.
