a story about a dog - by alex

there was once was a dog named Pinky. She belonged to the librarian
at an English school called Venusa. Pinky lived her life like many
other dogs in Venezuela, confined to a courtyard 24 hours a day.
The librarian, Hans, befriended a girl (who lived with a handsome
fellow named Alex)who was teaching at the school. He asked her to
watch Pinky for a couple of days. She loves animals, and said yes.
However, Hans never had any intention of taking this dog back.
So, for about a week, Pinky lived in the most loving environment she
has ever known, actually being cared for. Unfortunately Pinky was
allowed to 'go' wherever and whenever she wanted to in her courtyard,
so the rigors of apartment living were not for her. Luckily, the girl
Daniela always did whatever was necessary to care for Pinky and her
roomates did not have to do anything they didn't want to.
So Pinky was having a good life, the best week of her life, and she
was learning how to be a good dog and she was learning slowly how not
to be a stupid dog.
Until she was hit by a car yesterday. Now she's dead.
