lonely, through the streets of town. As he turned a corner, there in front of him was a busy parking lot, bustling with cars and people doing last-minute shopping before Thanksgiving dinner. "Aha! Here is a place where I will find someone to love me!" the puppy thought. But not one person had time to stop for the poor, lost puppy. People walked right past him, ignored him, and chased him away. He had to dodge shopping carts, cars, and skateboards. Sometimes somebody would stop to pet the puppy or talk to him. But nobody wanted to take the puppy home.
Then a nice lady noticed him. "Maybe she will take me home!" the puppy hoped. But the lady left him outside as she walked into the store. Sadly, the puppy kept sniffing and searching the parking lot for someone to love him. When the nice lady returned to her car with her groceries, she saw some mean kids teasing the puppy. She walked over, chased the kids away, and said, "You poor puppy...have you been here all day? I don't want you to get hurt by a car. Do you want to come home with me?" The puppy wagged his tail happily and hopped into her car. Her children were so surprised and happy when she brought the puppy home, and they all lived happily ever after.
That's pretty much how it happened.
Except for the Big Mean Daddy who wouldn't let them keep the puppy. After two days they found a nice man (we hope) who took the puppy, and the children cried and cried. One of them even locked herself, sobbing, in the bathroom, and walks around clutching a framed picture of the puppy who lived with them for 48 hours.
Sheesh. So much for a good deed.

Oh no! Big Mean Daddy!! I am sure you found the little pup a good home. You got him out of the grocery store parking lot, he would have gotten into trouble for sure had you not helped him. That is awesome. :)
