Title of My First PetWhen I was 12 years old I always wanted for my 13th birthday. One day I asked my mom if I
can have a dog for my birthday she said yes but you have to take care of it. It is your responsibility,
not mine. I was so excited that we went to the pet store on the same day that I asked. I went to a
pet store and I saw all these nice dogs it was so hard to choose. I decided to pick a Rockwell and it
was a boy dog. My dog's name was Mookie and he was 4 years old. Mookie and I got very close
every since I got it. Mookie was loving, sweet, and protective and I loved my dog very much. It
was the best gift ever got.
In the middle night, I heard a loud noise it sounded like someone was robbing my house so I went
downstairs to go see. It was a robbery stealing our stuff and I am getting on the robber's back trying
to get our stuff back. The robber slams me slow me on the couch very hard and Mookie came to
rescue me and he bit the robber's leg the robber dropped my stuff ran outside so quickly the
robbery didn’t come back to. The police knocked on the door and my mom came downstairs said
what's going on here. I said got attacked Mookie came to rescue me and my mom told the police
officer weren’t aware were sleeping and she said you okay are you hurt? I said mom I'm okay. My
mom said I'm glad we have a dog for protection and that you are okay. So I describe what the
robber looks like to the police officer. So the police officer took notes said we will come in the
morning to check on you and update you. Mookie and I went back upstairs. I went back to my
2
room. Mookie slept next to me and I felt so protected from him. The next morning the police
knocked on the door checked on us and we were fine. They said got the robber handcuffed so you
don’t worry about him anymore. We said thank you, police officer, we appreciated it.
