The Lost Toby

Hi, I’m Sam, and I love to play video games. I stay with my mom and my dog,
Toby.
"Sam, will you feed Toby, please?"
“I'm in the middle of a game. I'll finish this level and then I'll feed him.”
45 minutes later, I hear Mom calling for dinner. I go to the table and Mom asks
about Toby.
"Mom I forgot. I'll feed him now." I go to the
backyard to bring Toby in, but I can't find him.
Oh no! Toby is gone. "Mom, Toby isn't in the
yard. I think I might have left the gate open this
morning. I think he escaped."
“He’s not there? Sam, this is bad news." Mom
says.
Mom calls everywhere trying to locate Toby. But no one has seen him, and I'm
worried. We make pictures and signs to put up in the
park or the nieghbourhood.We go to grandpa's house
all tired and hungry. It doesn’t seem like we'll ever
find him.
As Grandpa opens the door, Toby jumps up and licks
my face. I hug him and pat him. I rub his stomach
just where he likes it.

"Sam, what happened?" Grandpa asks.

"I was playing my video game and I couldn't get past a level. Then I realized Toby
was gone."
"Is your video game more important than your dog?" Grandpa asks.

"It's not," I said. I'm happy Toby is safe. I feel awful
that my dog could have got hurt because of me.
“Mom, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, and Toby, I'm

“Thank you for the apology, Sam," says Mom. "Let's
go home and eat.”
