The girl and her dog

Once upon a time, there was a dog who had gotten lost from his family. He got very hungry, but living on the streets had made him look scary, so people were afraid to become friends with him, and wouldn't feed him. One day, the dog was stumbling around, on the verge of starvation, when he met a little girl named Mary. Mary helped the dog get better. She cared for him and fed him until he looked and acted like his old self before he'd gotten lost. He asked her, "Aren't you scared of me like everyone else?" Mary said, "No. I'm blind, and can't see what you look like. But I can tell, just by your voice and what you do that you're a nice dog who just needs a friend." The dog became very attatched to Mary, and wanted to help her like she had helped him. Mary's parents couldn't afford to buy a professionally trained seeing-eye dog, so the dog decided that he would lead Mary wherever she went. Since Mary had just about saved the dog's life, she decided to name him Chance, and they went everywhere together. One day, Mary's parents found a missing dog poster for Chance, and knew that his original owners missed him very much, and decided that the best thing to do was to return him. They brought Mary and Chance to the family, and told them how much the two had become friends and helped each other, and how much the two had changed each other's lives. The family decided to let Mary keep her new friend, and the two grew up together happily ever after.


I totally got this idea after watching Dogs101 all day.........

I just don't know about the whole "blind girl" thing for a children's book. But, hey, I don't know, I'm sure it'll work. I know you're not publishing it or anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

And EB, the dog's name is Chance, unless you meant it should be something simpler and he should have a name from the get-go?

But it's a cool story, Rebecca. Get some illustrations!
