In the middle of the

United States of America..

In the "Show Me State"

There lived a

Mini Doberman Pinscher

named Sparky.

Sparky lived in the country on a farm

with ten acres of beautiful land.

Sparky loved to run, play and chase deer away.

She was very active every day.

Sparky's human was her best freind.

She loved him so much.

His name was Shawn and he was a super great Daddy to Sparky.

Shawn and Sparky did everything together.

They really loved each other.

Shawn was a man who loved the outdoors.

He especially loved to go fishing.

Sparky loved to go to the lake to go fishing with Shawn.

Shawn always put a life vest on Sparky and they spent

hours together fishing on the lake.

Sparky loved the smell of fish and her

Daddy would catch so many!

Sparky loved going to the lake.

It made her so happy!

One day after a fishing trip, Shawn was helping

Sparky get out of their boat.

When Shawn lifted Sparky out of the boat

he felt a huge bump on her side.

Shawn took Sparky to their veterinarian

right away to see what it could be.

The veterinarian took xrays and did blood work to see what the bump was.
