The sun was shining beautifully on this warm June day. Everyone was happily walking outside trying to make it to the beach. It was as if everyone deliberately agreed to go today. But as I looked around I noticed a dog, he was lazily laying on a bench and he would occasionally pick his head up when someone would walk by. I innocently walked over to dog to see if he would like a piece of pizza that I was eating. As I got closer the dog eagerly wagged his tail. Eventually I have the dog a piece of my pizza and he seemed perfectly happy to eat it. The dog and I sat together for some time. We talked about school, parents and friends especially friends because my best friend and I just got into an argument. As people walked past they awkwardly looked at me, but I didn't care because it was nice to talk to someone without worrying about judgement. Long story short, this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Milo and I.

    I enjoyed your story about Milo and you. Was he just abandoned there? Did you adopt him?
