One cloudy morning, Banjo the dog wasn't outside waiting for us. We didn't see him for weeks and weeks. We were very, very sad that some little girl or boy might have stolen him.
Four weeks later, we saw him on the side of the road. He was running and splashing around in the river with my other dog Callie. They were having so much fun. They were tackling each other a lot. Mum screamed at them. My brother and I screamed at them too. We screamed, "Get home right now!". They were ignoring us and stayed there and played. We had to drive home, chasing them in our car.
We were late for work and school but we were so happy to have Banjo back.
