Poncho: A Short Story Of A Very First Dog
D is for Dogs

When I was around four years old, we got our very first dog. I can remember driving to the breeders house. I was very excited to be getting a dog. When we got to their house, it was very small. My parents talked to the breeder for what felt like ages. We finally got to see all of the dogs that they had. The room that the puppies were in had a crib, and dog beds. I saw some very, very little puppys, I really wanted them all. The one that we chose, was hiding under the crib. We named him Poncho after the parent's name. Poncho is around 11 years old now, and he is very fat for a Chihuahua. He never bites anyone, and he is very lazy. When he sleeps he lays in the craziest ways.
After 3 years of having Poncho we got another

    When we think about heroes, Superman, Batman and other stereotypical heroes usually come to mind, but perhaps it’s the people that the public eye might consider “flawed” that bring this concept of bravery and courage into perspective. In Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Christopher is a most unexpected example of a hero. Although he may seem like an ordinary, 15-year-old boy, somewhat limited by autism, Christopher, in his own unique way, brings a new meaning to the word “hero”. Christopher shows the characteristics of a hero through his determination, and his ability to overcome his dependence on routines and certainties. This ability to conquer over his “disability” puts him above the common stereotypical hero.…
