How I Got My Dog Pepper

by Laura Tyson

One day I was playing
when my Mom and Dad
came home with a dog.
My Mom and I
went to see my Dad.
I saw it.
I got in the car.
I went to pet her
when she bit me.
She nipped my Mom
and scratched me.
Mom got a box
while Dad brought her
in the house
and put her in the box.
We named her Pepper.
That's how I got my dog.
