Point of view By: Lauren Jernberg

What is going on here? There are so many

 People! I love people! They pet you and

Give you kisses. My owner brought me here

But I cannot find him. Where did he go?

Oh look! They have food. I wonder if they

Will feed me. I walk as stealthily as

I can. Oh no they have spotted me. Wait

My human is here! He will feed me. Look

A squirrel! I am so excited! I weave

In and out of people like a needle

Sewing a shirt. I look for the squirrel. Where

Could it have gone? Oh well maybe my human

Will play with me. I run to him like it

is the first time I have seen him in years.

He sits watching other humans in the

Water. I nudge him with my nose like a

Wrecking ball tearing down a house. He sees

Me and smiles his playing smile and

Throws a ball as far as he can. I must

Retrieve it! It is my duty much like

That of the mothers. Mothers have many

Hats to wear as do I. They take care of

Families, clean, and cook. Where I take care of

My people, retrieve all things, and am man’s

Best friend.  I run faster then the biker

Riding by. I feel like I have my head

Sticking out a window. A few more times

And I’m done and ready to lay down next

To my human. We watch everything pass

And I fall asleep while being petted.
