Oscar
Oscar mom, a homeless dog, lived in an abandoned house in Sanders AZ. She looked like a shepherd mix, but she was a very smart dog. She knew us and our car because we fed her and appeared nearby, when we visited Sander's gas station or one dollar store . When she had puppies, she took snacks from us, but she did not eat them. Instead, she carried the snacks to her puppies and fed them. She did not allow us to come close to her or touch her, but she always friendly wagged her tail when she saw us.This time she had 5 puppies. We decided to take one. When we try to catch one, all puppies ran away and only one black pulpy got frozen because of fear. We took him and brought him home. He was just 2-3 months old.
Now he is a big, 60 lb dog. He runs the whole day long in our back yards and he seems is happy with us. It is funny, that when I knock at the window glass, he looks around to see who it is on whom he could bark and even if there is no one, he runs around and bark anyway to show that he is on duty.
It is sad that his mom disappeared. We do not see her again. anywhere.
Great piece!
Sergey,

It is sad that his mother/dam [1] disappeared. We do not see her anywhere.
[1] "Dam" usually means a дамба or плотина, but in the context of dogs and other domesticated mammals, "dam" refers to the mother.
Your post was very good, but it would be even better if you used contractions. This is because you're telling us about your pet dog, and there's no reason to write formally. For example: She took snacks from us, but didn't eat them. // Now he's a big, 60 lb. dog. // It's sad that his mother disappeared.
