One upon a time on a hill up north of Canada, there lived an old farmer who
had a dog named Shadow. When kids walked by they shouted “that man has
a cat looking dog who would adopt that type of dog” but the owner didn’t just
watch,he yelled “you fools get out of here or else” the kids got scared and ran
off.
The farmer grins at Shadow and after a kind girl comes closer to the farmer’s
house. The farmer got to action “did you come to joke about my dog if you are
then get out of here” “what type of dog is this ,its a cute one” said the little girl
“a husky” said the curious farmer from then on the farmer didn’t shout at the girl
he was polite and kind
A few months later the girl said to his father ‘can I get a dog?
Please, Dad please, I’ll do anything’ . The father got annoyed and finally said “ok”
the dog was a boy named Theo. Theo had blue eyes not like Shadow, Shadow and
Theo both became really good friends as they grew up together, they did everything
together, they slept together , ate, bathed and played as well.

One day the school that those bullies go to got on fire Shadow smelt the burning fire and it
bring back memories when his mom didn’t survive a fire but she helped him out of the building on fire he doesn’t want that to happen to any one so he ran followed the scent of the building on fire unexpectedly Shadow came out with the bullies hand in his mouth every one gasped because he bullied the dog a few minutes ago now the dog is helping
him and the farmer came with bandages and Shadow gently put him down they took him home and a few weeks later the boy was ok all because of the dog.
One day the dog went to see the boy the boy said “thank you so much I will never bully you again”
This story is about becoming friends and being kind. And also you should never judge a book by its cover.
