Spike

Last night, my dad’s black dog named Spike ____________________. We were looking for him everywhere almost all night. He has been my dad’s best friend since I moved away to Hernando. He has had Spike for the past 12 years. You can imagine that my dad was very sad about this. In ____________________ to this situation, when my cat ran away, it was not a big problem, because the cat was very independent and never became a real family friend. The ____________________ of my cat’s trips away from home was great. She was always on the move, going places. Spike was always ____________________ at that cat because she didn’t want to play with him.

 This morning around nine, an owner of a ____________________ called me and said that he found Spike. It is good that he was wearing his collar with my phone number. I called my dad right away! The restaurant is in a ____________________ part of Memphis, in Frayser. That means that Spike had to run a very big distance last night. Anyway, finding Spike is a wonderful ____________________ that will make my dad happy. These days, Spike is an important friend in my dad’s life because dad is sick a lot. He is a ____________________ little dog with a big heart, and it looks like he is a ____________________ little guy because he ran so far.
