"So ya know when a wittle kid wants something, they wan it bad". "It seem like that the only thing they wan". "Well ya get the feelin"? "So that why I Wuby Felicity Johnson wana dog"! "Nice try Ruby but we are not getting a dog".
Said Rubys dad Bryan Johnson. "Bu why no daddy"? "Yeah dad why not"? Said her eleven year old Madeline, who also wanted a pet.
Ruby was only five, and she couldn't speak properly yet, but still she was an
energetic enthusiastic little girl.
One day she just wanted a dog so much she kept thinking, dog, dog, dog and sighed. "I welly welly wana dog mummy, pwease"? "No Ruby you will have to dicuss that with your father and"..."I'm fine with it". Said Rubys dad.
"But a dog will be a big job, so do you want to do it"? "Yes! Yes"! "Dad, daddy"! Yelled the two exited girls. "Then it's a good way to start 2017"!
"Um dad may Ruby and I go on a walk"? Asked Madeline. "Sure you may girls". Said thier dad approvingly.
Chapter Two The walk
Ruby and Madeline got ready for the walk put on their coats, because it was cold out.
When they were just about half way on their street, Pink Street, they saw something falling from the sky! It was a dog!
Down it went, and with a plop it fell on a bench and crouched low to the bench shivering from the cold.
"Aww poow ting"! Exclaimed Ruby,
looking straight at the dogs eyes. The dog looked back with wonder and friendlyness.
Madeline, was indeed doing a totally different the in this event. She was looking at the dog, to figure out it's gendre and it's breed.
"Madlwin we must keep him"! Ruby exclaimed. "I think we might have to get him all the dog assentials".
"Now what are you going to do with it"? "Oh me"? "I'm going to take the dog home so mommy an daddy can see it".
"Good idea Ruby lets go".
When Ruby and Madeline returned the dog barked but suddenly spoke! "Hey a howse"! He said wagging his tail quickly. Their mom dropped the laundry as she came in to the hallway. "OH MY GOSH"!!! "DID THAT DOG JUST TALK"!!?
"Yes ma-am"! "Bwownie the dog at your serwice"!

confused.

"Ok Wuby I have a secert to tell you". Brownie wispered. "I'm an angel dog"!
Ruby stared in disbelif. "Show me"she whispered as she closed the door.
Brownies ears started to spin and soon they got faster and faster and faster!
Then Brownie suddenly had a halo on his head.
Ruby quickly shut the door. "Is this wha you wana sow me"? She asked. "Yea". Said Brownie. "Coowal I tink you take of that halo now".
