One day, while driving down the road, 

Allie saw something that caught her 

attention. A short, fluffy, white dog was 

running down the sidewalk with her 

owner. Allie had always wished to have a 

dog and play with it, but never had the 

guts to ask   her parents. She decided that 

it was time to confront her parents and 

finally ask for a dog. 

The next morning when Allie woke up, she 

immediately went down the stairs and toward her 

parents room. 

"Daddy can i ask you something?" Allie asked.

"Sure sweetie, anything you want," said her dad. 

"Can i have a dog?"

"Honey, I know how much you like dogs, but no"

"What! Daddy why?"

"Because it's too much responsibility for you"

"But Dad I promise I wont ask for anything else ever 

again in my life" 

"Allie a no is a no, I'm sorry," her dad said.

With a horribly broken heart, Allie went up the stairs 

and back to her room. 

Allie was devastated, and dreadfully 

started crying on the pillow case. She 

thought of how cruel her dad was, that he 

didn't even take it into consideration. If he 

thought that Allie was just going to sit 

back and not fight the battle, he was 

wrong. Her dad might have won this 

battle, but Allie was going to win the war, 

and get the dog of her dreams.   

The next day when Allie woke up she started to carry 

out her plan. She was going to show her dad how 

responsible she actually is, and talk about dogs 

around him. If that didn't work, she was going to give 

him the silent treatment. Allie didn't care what she 

had to do in order to get the dog, all she knew was 

that she couldn't live without the dog much longer. 

 When Allie arrived cheerfully at the table her dad just 

looked at her and said "Sweetie are you feeling well?"

"Fine daddy, I'm just excited to go to school and 

learn," said Allie. 

Her dad just nodded and returned to eating his 

breakfast happily.   

After Allie came home from school, she ran up the 

stairs to her room, and immediately started on her 

homework. When her dad came to check on her and 

saw her doing her homework instead of watching TV, 

he   was very proud of Allie. Then, after she had 

finished working on her homework she 

enthusiastically asked her mom if she could help with 

dinner. Surprised from this offer, her mom gladly let 

her help cook dinner. At the dinning table, Allie kept 

on talking about how her friends all had wonderful 

dogs, or the great things about having a dog. Her 

parents looked interested in Allies story, and thought 

they maybe reconsider about getting her a dog.
