Hi my name is Kiba and I have black spiky hair and loves dogs.
I’ve always liked dogs ever since I was a child but I was never allowed one but I am going up to the snow today on a mountain with my friends. I’m in the bus right now to go up there. I am so excited! Ok now we are in the snow area now it’s going to be so fun.
Now we are going to hire a snow board so I went up to the highest point possible and started going down it is so fast. The next slope is an obstacle course it is quite hard but I found a dog stuck under a rock half way down the track. So I walked back up there to see it small white and fluffy but his paw looked broken so I lifted the rock off him and put him in my backpack. Then I snow boarded down slowly and into the emergency injuries and lined up for a nurse. The nurse said, “All four bones in his paw are broken but they will heal.”
“That’s good,” I said so I walked down with the dog and showed it to my friends. They all thought it was cool so I rang my mum from my phone and told her all about my day. She said, “Well I think that you are allowed a dog now, how about the one you saved?”
“Well he does like me,” I said so I took the dog home and called him Akamaru.
