Chapter 1
I woke to the sound of my little brother Jacob’s whining. I reluctantly got up to go see what was wrong, when I got to him I saw that he was surrounded by fox cubs and I immediately ran to get help. Mother, Josh, Andrew, and Chloe met me half way and I lead them back to Jacob. Turns out that was a bad idea because when we got there, Jacob was already in the arms of the dog catcher, and soon so were we.
I barked so loud and for so long it started to hurt. My mother finally told me to stop and to be calm till we got to the shelter. I honestly have no idea what a shelter is but I think it’s the place they take dogs to when they’ve been bad. Chloe was in a cage with me and I nestled close beside her and tried not to freak out. Everyone was focused on keeping the two youngest calm and of course that was me and Jacob. Luckily I was calmer than Jacob; he was freaking out yelping that he was stupid for letting the guy touch him.
Mother and Josh were in a cage with Jacob and they tried everything they could to get him to be quiet, finally I just yelped shut up at him and that worked although I got scolded for just doing that I mean my mother wants me to be all loving and nurturing toward him and I just want to scratch him in the face sometimes.
Finally we reached the shelter everyone was asleep but me, I lie awake wondering what will happen next. The dog catcher got our cages out of the big metal van. He took us in the building and put me and my family into what looks like a big metal locker.

Chapter 2
The next morning an old man came to get me, and only me. He put me on a cold scale and the metal was so cold on my paws I started to whine. Then the old man was talking to the secretary and he said something about the six new dogs and how fast they are going to get adopted because they are so cute. He also said something about picking her up around six thirty next Thursday so that gave who ever “she” is a week and no more but strangely I felt like maybe just maybe he was talking about me or worse my mother or Chloe.
Turns out my luck is not paying off for the simple fact it was Chloe my one and only sister my closest friend. That night I huddled close to Andrew my oldest brother.
Within the next two weeks Jacob, Josh, and Andrew were “adopted” and a week after them my mother but that left only me, which I was fine with at first but then I missed my mother and other siblings.
The day after my mother got adopted a small boy walked in to the shelter along with his father. He asked his dad what the surprise was and he said that he would get it soon enough and with that he nodded at the secretary and she walked toward my cage. I was afraid, but little did I know that my new life was about to begin.


Chapter 3
The new life is very different than the old but I’m trying to get used to it I have an owner. He named me milkyway I like my new name but my name will always be Annabelle. At first I thought he would be mean because all the stray dogs that I have met said that they’re owners beat them and didn’t feed them. Surprisingly Kaleb was extremely nice well at least for now I hope he stays so nice but with my luck he will forget about me. A few days later I met
