Maltese Pound Puppy - Jojo

by Lily Sullivan

Jojo is my Maltese puppy. I get him for my 12th birthday. He is the best dog ever!

Jojo is very loyal, too. One day I took him to the library and he waited outside of the library, being such a good boy! After 20 mins. or so, my mother came in the car and then she put Jojo in the car with all the windows open just enough for air & coolness. When she came out of the library, Jojo was not there! We all raced around calling "Jojo". After awhile we decided we should head back to our house and call The pound.

When we got back to our house my Mom went inside to call the pound. I felt like crying. I had only recently gotten him in February (it was july) and already I knew he was the best dog EVER! Then my Grand-pa started saying that he just saw the dog a minute ago. We all corrected him, saying that he must have seen our big labador, Molly. "No, no" he said "This was the little white dog". I don't think anyone really believed him but my Mom sent us outside to look anyway. "Jojo" we all shouted. "where are you"? I was starting to cry, and was praying non-stop. Ugh! This was horrible! The pound hadn't found anything and he wasn't out here! :( Suddenly I heard a bark. ''Could it be"? I spun around and there was... JOJO ... running towards me with a smile on his snout! I dropped to my knees and he jumped into my arms licking me all over, I was so happy and just filled with live for Jojo!

Turned out my Maltese had walked home from the library! That was a half hour walk! I don't know how he managed it I am just thankful that he is safe!
-Thank the Lord!
