As the car slowed to a stop, my owners' daughter started crying. What's going on I wondered as I turned and licked the little girl's face. She wrapped her little arms around my neck and hugged me. We had driven out to the middle of a forest for no apparent reason. My male owner got out of the car and opened my door so I could jump out. I was so glad to be able to stretch my legs. We had all been crammed in that car for half an hour, and I am a big dog. My male owner unclipped my red collar, which has never been taken off before, and tossed my favorite tennis ball into the forest. I bayed with delight and sprinted as fast as I could to find it. Finally, after a little searching, I found it under some leaves and started to head back the way I had come, when I heard the car door slam shut and the car roar as it sped off down the gravel road. Oh no I thought as I ran back to where the car was, only to find that my car was nowhere to be seen. I started to panic and run in circles. Where could they have gone? They were just right here. They wouldn't leave me, right? I'm not that bad of a dog. I finally decided to sit by the road and wait for them to come back. I watched the road for my car and waited for them to come. Eventually, I gave up and just watched the sun set. Finally defeated, I went off into the forest. Not to far away, I found a tree that had a large hollow area under it. I settled down and waited for sleep to come. They will be back in the morning I told myself as I drifted off to sleep.
