There once was a beautiful dog named Callie who wanted nothing more than a family to love her and take care of her. But the man who owned her was mean and scary, and always left Callie tied up to a chain in the front yard. Callie always saw the other dogs walking by with their families, and she decided that she would do whatever it took to get away and find one of her own. But how would she break free from her chain? Day and night she chewed and gnawed and tugged until finally, it broke and she was free! She ran and ran like she never had before, she wanted to get as far away as possible from that mean man and never go back. Suddenly a truck with cages in the back came up behind her and a person put a leash around her neck and put her in one of the cages. “Oh no” said Callie, “I’m never going to get to have a family now”.
That truck took her to a place where there were tons of other dogs and cats, all in bigger cages and all very sad. “Where am I” asked Callie to the dog in the cage next to her. “You’re in what humans call the pound; all of us animals without a home have to stay here until a nice family comes along and wants to adopt us and take us home” said the old dog. Callie stayed in this “pound” for weeks and watched different families come and go; they usually wanted the cute little puppies and never the big dogs like her. Even though the odds didn’t look good, she never gave up hope and was always prepared whenever visitors would come.
One day a little girl walked in and Callie could tell there was something special about her. She ran over to Callie’s cage and said “Mommy, mommy, I want this one! She’s so pretty, can I please have her?” But her mom said “Don’t you want this cute little puppy over here instead sweetie? Look how little he is!” The little girl had her heart set on Callie, and was already in the cage petting her and scratching her belly. As they put a brand new collar and leash around Callie’s neck, she said bye to all of her friends at the pound and got into the car with her new family.
They took her to their home, and walked her to the biggest backyard that Callie had ever been in! She ran in circles, fetched the ball, and had never had so much fun in her whole life! “This is it” thought Callie, “I finally have a home and have a family that loves me as much as I love them!” Every morning the little girl would take Callie outside to play and go potty, and then she would give her some breakfast before she left for school. Then in the afternoons she would come home and play all sorts of games with Callie; they went on walks together every day, and Callie absolutely loved whenever it was time to get a bath! They spent every second they could together, and were each other’s best friends. At night Callie no longer dreamed of finding a family because her family found her and loved her more than anything in the world.
