The Little brown Dog

We read a story called Called the Little Brown Dog. It is a very controversial story. It is about a dog that was abandoned on the side of the road. Then a little boy comes and he messes with the dog in a harsh manner. The dog just lays there and takes it. After the boy is done torturing the dog he goes to walk away but the dog follows him and wines. So the boy brings the dog back to his apartment and they go to the stairs and the dog tries to avoid going up them but the boy drags him. The boy gets in his apartment and then ask his mom if he can keep the dog but she says no. Then his dad steps in and says he can keep the dog because he knew it would make the mom mad. They keep the dog and he soon becomes abused. The father beats him for no reason with objects. Finally the dad has had enough and he grabs the dog and throws him out the window, the impact killed the dog. But why does the dad mistreat the dog? This story is very sad because the things that happened in the story happen in everyday life. The dog didn't do anything to them but yet he was punished and then finally killed. I believe he is an awful father and he is teaching his son bad lessons by abusing the dog. If he does it most likely the boy will do it and he had already done it a little bit. I believe this is an overall good story but it is very sad and it makes you think a lot.
