It was the last day of Christmas break of my 8th grade year. I have begged and pleaded to my mom for a dog for years and today was going to be the day where I finally got a dog. I had just woken up at my friend's house ecstatic to go to the animal shelter to look at all the potential dogs to adopt. Little did I know my mom had a completely different plan in mind. When I woke up and checked my phone it felt as if my whole world was going to collapse. I read a text from my mom that said, “Hey fussy the animal shelter is closed today because of snow, maybe we’ll go look another time.” My heart was broken. I couldn’t believe that the animal shelter was closed, it just didn’t make sense. Even though my mom texted me that I didn’t believe her, so I took matters into my own hands. I called the shelter and after two rings they picked up the phone, they told me that the shelter wasn’t closed and they had multiple dogs that were up for adoption. I was in shock, even though I had my suspicions my mom was lying I was still shocked that she would lie about something that I’ve been so utterly passionate about for so long. Right when I got off the phone with the shelter I immediately called my mom to tell her I know she lied. I’m a very stubborn and committed person so I knew I was going to this shelter hell or high water. After a few minutes of arguing she was finally on her way to pick me up and take me to the shelter. I was ecstatic to be going and something in me knew I was going to get a dog that day. Once we got to the shelter it only took me a few minutes to find my new best friend, my dog Rufus. Rufus was everything I dreamed, a cute dog that I could hangout with. Five years later and he’s still my best friend. To this day I still think about how if I never called the animal shelter I wouldn’t have gotten him, Rufus was and still is my miracle puppy.
