A couple weeks ago, I went with my sister, my mum and my dad to get some puppies. We found two puppies and we named them Malaki and Zeus and we took them home. One day someone left the door open and they ran away! We looked everywhere but we could not find them. I heard a dog bark, we looked outside but it was just a stray. We saw footprints so we followed them to the park until they stopped. By then it was getting dark, we started heading home. Then I heard a loud bark so we followed it to Extreme Air but it was just from the pound. We went home and we saw them messing up the flower garden so we took them inside and gave them a bath. By that time, it was midnight so we got them out of the bath and went to bed. The next morning we got out of bed and someone was knocking on the door. It was the pound, they asked "Are these your puppies?" We said “Yes! I wonder how they escaped?” "We must have not locked the cage properly,” I said to my mum. "No, we forgot to put them in the cage,” she said! The end
