Even Dogs Need Friends

Pug was a playful dog.

Although she was not always

like that. She was frightened

of being alone.

Everytime her owner would

leave, she would bark herself

to sleep.

She liked being the favorite

of her family and she liked

wondering in the yard.

She would smile all the flowers

and all the grass to see if

any animal came by.

She would run with the trees

and she loved being petted.

It happened that upon a morning

there was a capybara in the yard.

Such a strange sight that it caught

Pug off.

She was busy enjoying the weather

and laughing at the wind, which

is what she did ever so often.

The capybara curious about

Pug came close unafraid.

Pug was scared and ran barking.

And the capybara stood still

as a statue.

Pug came closer and closer.

She sniffed the capybara.

All around him with her

tail standing up.

And when Pug came to his front.

The capybara kissed her.

At first Pug back in disgust

but tried the capybara

on his side away from his mouth.

And he waited and sniffed her.

Pug's owner watching from distance

called Pug and Pug ignored.

Then suddenly ran away

Pug looked back as her owner

sternly said to her that she does not

want her to play with that animal again.

And Pug's owner put a lease on her

walking away.

The capybara stood in the distance

and ran quickly away to his home.

Some time has went by

and Pug missed the capybara.

She wined to her owner to

go back to that park.

And her owner gave in,

Pug used her nose to

see if the capybara came back.

And she sniffed and sniffed

but she could not find his scent.

She looked everywhere and

her owner realized that Pug

made friends with the capybara.

So the owner let her search

and search.

Pug finally caught his scent

and the capybara stood still behind

the tree, slowly walking out

towards the park's fence.

They walked together and that

was for some time the last time

they seen each other.

Pug howled in the wind when she

visit the park and she checks everytime

she goes to that park.

As her owner was walking Pug

besides the park's lake

Pug saw the capybara.

Barking and in an excited rage

and the capybara met her

by the shore.

Pug smelled the capybara

and said her final good bye.

The capybara went back

into the park's lake and swim

to the other side into

the forest never to be seen again.
