I awoke with the start to the

sound of a dogs loud roaring bark.

I bolted to the door to spot what

was going on, I threw open the

door, and gazed at a massive

golden creature.

I tripped over the door, and

the enormous dog was staring dead

at me. "Mom" I yelled as my voice

started trembling. I was'nt sure

if he was my dog or some one

elses. Then he scampered right at

me, pulverized me onto the ground,

and I screamed. I felt his

steaming hot breath against my

face. But all he did was lick me.

From that moment on I knew that

he was my dog.

That evening my brothers and I

figured out a name for him,

Banchee. He was so hefty that we

tried to ride him like a horse. As

soon as i leaped onto his cozy,

fluffy, fur he scurried swiftly

through the house. I could hear

his razor sharp claws scraping

against the hard tile floor. After

a few minutes passed I felt

extremely woozy. Everything

started shaking. Then a loud boom

went roaring through the house.

I launched off of his back.

Crash my head viciously smashed

into the kitchen wall. I blacked

out, I thought I was dead. But I

woke to the sound of my mom

screeming. "Mom I am o I am o o,"

it was almost impossible to get my

words out. Then i blurted "I am

ok." She grabbed hold of me and

squeezed all of the wind out of

me, and said "I love you."

That was such a memoral day.

Because i got my wish and he is

still proudly here today.
