Tinkerbell

There was a poor dog named named Tinkerbell limping and her leg bleeding. A guy named Mr. Ferreirae saw her on his walk through the park in London. Mr. Ferreirae was kind enough to take her to his house to take care of her. At his house, Mr. Ferreirae gave Tinkerbell a bath, fed her, and put her near the fire to dry off. Mr. Ferreirae gave her another meal in front of the fire. After her meal she fell asleep in front of the fire. In the morning she found a warm breakfast in front of her. Tinkerbell gladly ate it. She walked into the kitchen to see Mr. Ferreirae at the table drinking a cup of coffee. Mr. Ferreirae said good morning and pet her on her head. Mr. Ferreirae said he would take her to the vet to stop the bleeding. On their way there they stopped at UPS to make flyers about a lost dog. Then they went to the vet. On their way back they put up the fliers. A few days later the owner, Jake, came to claim Tinkerbell. Mr.Ferreirae was sad when she left. A couple days later he found another stray dog in the park with her puppies. Mr. Ferreirae took care of her and soon enough, found the owner. The owner, Mike, was kind enough and said Mr.Ferreirae could keep one of the girl puppies. They lived together happily.
