Childhood
Growing up, Cody had a lot of adventures. When he was about seven years old, he had a dog
named Sumo. Sumo was a chow and lab mix, and he was such a sweetheart. Most people thought that
just because Sumo was a big dog, that he’d hurt Cody. Sumo totally proved them wrong when Cody
wandered out of the house one day.
Cody lived up on a big hill, and if he walked far enough, he could end up on a highway. That’s
exactly what Cody did. There’s something wrong with this picture! Little seven year old Cody and
Sumo, on a highway! There was something about Sumo, though. If Cody were to get anywhere near
the highway, Sumo would herd him away. Sumo would push and herd and block Cody from the road. I
guess Sumo had as much love for Cody that everyone else had.
