Snatched Away

Ive been here now for five days. My friend Beth is here with me so at least I have someone to talk to. I dont know where the men have gone that grabbed me out of my garden when I was playing. I miss my family. Ive had no food since they locked me and Beth down here. Beth had been snatched a week before me. She looked in a bad way. She was so thin and her hair all long and tangled. They hadnt fed her for a couple of days but at the time they where giving me food and water. Whenever they werent looking Id share my food with Beth. Thats why they locked us down here because they caught us sharing.


This is day seven in this dank dark room. I think its a cellar of some sort. Theres still nobody come so no food. There is some water here though its a mucky brown colour. It both smells and tastes funny but its better than nothing. Beths not moving Ive tried everything but shes not moving.


Today is day eight. The men who took me have been here today. Because of the abuse Beth and myself had received from them, before being put down here, I hid. Beth still hadnt moved. They kicked her a few times. I heard one of the men say she was dead. As they were dragging her body out of the room I heard them say they were just going to dump her body out the back. I miss Beth. I am so scared.


Today is day 10. I can hear voices outside Ive made as much noise as I can but I know I sound more like a mouse squeaking than anything else.


Ive been out of that hell hole now for a fortnight. The noise I heard outside the room I was in was couple of nice people. They were in uniform. They came into the room picked me up and carried me into the back of their vehicle. They took me to somewhere to get help for my injurious. Because I couldnt tell them where my family lived, and they couldnt find them, I was put up for adoption. Im here in my new home now. Theres a cat here called Fluffy. Ive never been one for cats but Fluffy is fun. I often chase him up the tree in the backyard but then isnt that what we dogs are meant to do?
