*my best friend Ticky*
by Becky Johnson
I got ticky when i was five years old. Now i am fiffteen. Ticky was a German Shepard Beagle. She was my best friend in the whole world, until a terrible accident took her away from me. I was walking in my hometown park one day because Ticky always liked to go for walks and play with her toys in the park. I thought it was just going to be a regular day when i took her out. When i got there there was a much bigger dog that didn't look to friendly. It started growling at Ticky so i started to turn around and go home because i didn't want anything to happen. As i started to walk home the dog got lose from his owner and flew on top of my dog and statred biting at it's throat. Ticky tried to fight back,but the other dog was so large and stronger than Ticky. I tried to pull the other dog off of mine but i got bit in the arm. The police came everyone came and finally got the dog off of Ticky. We rushed her to the vet. As i sat with her in the ambulance there she cried and looked at me licking my hand.. almost like telling me everything is going to be alright. But when we got to the vet Ticky passed away. I couldn't believe it..I loved her so much and she was with me for 10 years. I kissed her and hugged her for hours until the vet and the doctor had to pull me away from her. that was the hardest thing in my life to do. I will never forget you Ticky ...you were my life, my world,and my best friend...i will see you again when i cross rainbow bridge..I love you...God bless!
