Tuffy
My family and I had a guard dog called Tuffy. He was a very loving dog and kept us very safe. My dad and I took him out for walks every day. He loved playing in the water and ran after crows. Every time we gave him a bath, he would run off, chasing birds an cats, getting dirty again! One night, he continuously barked and barked on the top of his lungs and would just not stop. Around midnight, he stopped. In the morning, when we went out to look for him, he was not there. We looked all over for him and searched every spot where he could have been but could not find him. My dad and uncles went into the woods to find him and bring him back home. I was not allowed to go but I sneaked in and joined the search for our dear Tuffy. A little into the woods, we found Tuffy laying sprawled on the ground with a spike to his heart. We got closer and realized he was dead. A porcupine killed him. We were all very sad and couldn’t stop crying. We brought his mum over to see him. She was very upset but she did not kill the porcupine. Now, we have a new dog and we named him Tuffy 2, in Tuffy’s memory.
