When I went to the park on Saturday with my ______ we met a dog and it looked beautiful . It had a collar on and a tag but I didn’t want to return it. I got the dog then, played with it. I saw a flyer for a lost dog and realized that’s the dog I was playing with! I realized that it needed to go home with its family but I didn’t want to let it go. So I didn’t tell anyone about it and kept playing with the dog . Later that same day I went back to the park to look for the dog but I found a little girl crying I felt bad so I went to go ask her if she was okay, she said her dog ran away and that she couldn’t find him anywhere. I asked her to describe the dog and she described the dog as the same one I saw today. I realized I took away a family members of hers so I told her what happened with the dog. She told me I shouldn’t have done that and I realized that you shouldn’t take stuff from people because you don’t know how much it means to them. It was a unforgettable day because I learned a unforgettable lesson that I still use today. I felt really bad for her and promised I wouldn’t do things like that again.
