After a few months, Sally was badly injured and I kept telling lies. Sally was getting older and weaker.
My little sister was not bother with my acts anymore because our parents kept scolding her and did not
trust her words. One day, I watched a TV show. It was ‘Humans’ Loyal Friends’. The movie was about a loyal
dog and its owner. I felt bored and started to sleep. Out of a blue, my mother shouted and cried. I was
frightened. ‘What happened?’ I asked and looked at the TV. There was a dog sacrificed itself to rescue its
owner. It was bumped by a lorry when it pushed its owner away. Its blood was all over the road. The owner
was sad. I was touched and my eyes were filled with tears. I hugged Sally closely. I felt regret.
I promised Sally to not torture it anymore. Therefore, I took time to play with Sally every day. I was
very giddy like a kid in a candy store. Sally was also happy when we were playing. It kept licking my cheek. I
gave Sally some chocolate. Both of us were on top of the world. Started from that day, Sally became my
bosom friend. The next day, Sally looked weaker and exhausted. It was groaning. It kept vomiting. I noticed
this incident and told my parents. Then, we brought Sally to the vet. The veterinarian said that Sally was un-
healthy because it had diarrhea. It was because it ate too many chocolates which were already expired. It
made Sally collapsed and died. After hearing that, my hands clasped over my mouth in disbelief. I felt deep-
ly hurt and cried loudly. My parents tried to calm me down. At last, we performed euthanasia even though
we knew that we will never see Sally again. I was in a great despair and felt disappointed with myself for
few days. It was a very sad memory. I would never forget Sally.
