Bad Dog

My dog is called Fido. He is a good dog. He loves me and I love him.

I take him for a walk each evening after school. I feed him. He sleeps on my bed every night.

Fido is a good dog. But last summer he was a very naughty dog. Let me tell you why.

My family and I were going away on holiday. We were going somewhere you cannot take dogs. Fido knew we were going away. He saw the bags. He saw the fishing rod. He saw the beach ball. And he knew we were not going to take him.

So what did Fido do? He ran away. He left home. He went off by himself.

We looked everywhere. We called him.

“Here, boy! Good dog! Come back!”

But he hid.

We missed the taxi. We missed the plane. We missed out on the first two days of our holiday. By the time we found Fido, we were very angry.

We know that he was naughty because he did not want to be left behind. So next holiday, we are going to take him with us. Then he will be good all the time.
