Once upon a time Once upon a time, there was a dog He was a Rottweiler, strong but gentle He loved his tennis balls that he chewed It kept his jaws in shape, and he was special One day it was the dog, my cousin and I Casually walking along the lake in winter The water was frozen around the shore Where we stood it was much thinner My cousin decided to throw a snowball He threw it and it landed on the thin ice My dog who was unleashed, had ran after it After getting to the snowball, he payed the price He fell through the cracking ice and went in He could not get out as it was slippery all around Luckily my cousin was thinking, slowly he walked Laying down to spread his weight, he got the hound Pulling my dog up from the water safely and quickly I reached for my best friend and took off his sweater We rushed home as fast as possible to get him warm I dried the wet guy with a towel and made him better It was a close call for my puppy and for me as well I would have lost a great companion and friend I'm grateful for the brave actions of my cousin I would like to say thank you and him I commend ©Schizology Once upon a time.... #story #poem #Canine
