Note to the reader: this story is written from the point of view of our family dog Toby. Please enjoy!

Hi everyone! I will tell you my story today, it’s a love story and try to show my feelings for my family. When I was a little dog, a guy called Oscar was my first owner. He had an amazing job in the army and he tried to train me in special operations to detect some special smells in people's cars. I didn’t understand the reasons, but I was feeling very good at his side and I felt that I was doing my job perfectly. Oscar had to leave his house and go to a special operation in another place without me, and he left me in his mother’s house, but I was feeling so sad for his absence. I waited for so long, but he never came back for me because he died in the special mission. And then I ran so far trying to find him, but I never succeeded. I was lost in the garbage, eating waste, and getting into trouble with other dogs. Unfortunately, I got a big disease. I got a bad infection in my neck.

And then a miracle happened! A nice guy called Juan picked me up in this place and drove me to the veterinarian to check me and to cure my injuries. After two months I was healthy, happy and with all my thanks to this guy for saving me. He drove me to my new home and new life.

But I know now that I have a new family with kids, dogs, cats, and my work now is to smell my food and to watch over my house. I’m very happy with my family and they are very nice with me, they are happy with me and I with them. My job now only is to give love and love to everyone in my family.
