Dennis's dog

English
My friend Dennis from next door called me.

"Come and see my new dog," said Dennis.
The dog had black spots and a big head.

It frightened me!

I felt worried that it would bite me.
We took the new dog for a walk, Dennis and me.
The dog wagged its tail.
It barked!
Then it peed on me!

On my boot!

Yuuuk!
Dennis took a tissue and wiped off the pee.
I felt that Dennis was a good friend to me.
